Well, first we have to isolate the $\sin {\theta}$

$5 \sin {\theta} +3 = 3$
subtract 3 from both sides to get

$5 \sin {\theta)=0$
divide both sides by 5

$\sin {\theta} = 0$

Now, for what $\theta$ does $\sin {\theta} = 0$? That is true at all multiples of 180 degrees so d is your answer.

I did not realize that this question is really easy.
