Two right triangles $A B C$ and $B C D$ with one side coinciding are drawn as shown in the figure, and the resulting two regions are painted yellow and blue.
$$\mathrm { m } ( \widehat { \mathrm { DCA } } ) = \mathrm { m } ( \widehat { \mathrm { BAC } } ) = \mathrm { x }$$

A) $\sin 2 x$
B) $\cos 2 x$
C) $\sin ^ { 2 } x$
D) $\cot ^ { 2 } x$
E) $\csc ^ { 2 } x$

In the figure, using the points $\mathrm { P } ( 0,1 )$ and $\mathrm { S } ( 1,0 )$ on the unit circle with center O and the positive directed angle $\theta$ that the line segment RO makes with the x-axis, new trigonometric functions are defined as follows:
$$\begin{aligned} & \text { kas } \theta = | \mathrm { RS } | \\ & \text { sas } \theta = | \mathrm { RP } | \end{aligned}$$
Accordingly,
$$\frac { \mathrm { kas } ^ { 2 } \theta } { 2 - \operatorname { sas } ^ { 2 } \theta }$$
For $\theta$ values where this expression is defined, which of the following is it equal to?
A) $\sin ( 2 \theta )$
B) $\cos ^ { 2 } ( 2\theta )$
C) $\sec \theta$
D) $\tan \left( \frac { \theta } { 2 } \right)$
