A

The principal value.

B

Only after finding all possible values for the whole angle (3θ−20∘)(3\theta-20^\circ)(3θ−20∘) in the transformed interval.

C

The period of sine and cosine is 360∘360^\circ360∘, whereas the period of tangent is 180∘\boxed{180^\circ}180∘​.

D

In the expression tan⁡2x\tan^2 xtan2x, the ratio (tangent value) is squared, not the angle (xxx).
