Answer:

  D  cos(N)

Step-by-step explanation:

In case you haven't remembered the fact that the sine of an angle is equal to the cosine of its complement (the other acute angle in a right triangle), you can always go back to the definitions.

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  sin(L) = NM/NL

and

  Cos = Adjacent/Hypotenuse

  cos(N) = NM/NL = sin(L)

The equivalent of sin(L) is cos(N).
