Solution

The correct option is B $tan θ$
Given :Trigonometry ratios, i.e,
$sin θ, tan θ, cos θ, sec θ$
To find: Positive ratio in 3rd quadrant
Solution: We know that third quadrant range is $180^{0}$ to $270^{0}$ and tangent and cotangent is positive in third quadrant.
Hence, answer is $tan θ$ , option - B
