I understand why b is an answer, but could you explain why c is?

Remember that  the sine is positive in the first quadrant  and in the second quadrant

 

And we have the identity that  sin (180° - A)   =   sin 180°cos A - sin Acos180° =

 

0*cosA  - sinA*(-1)   =  sin A

 

So.....

 

sin  (180° - 75°)  =   sin (105°)  =  sin (75°)
