Because θ lies in quadrant II, 2θ must lie in quadrant IV. This means the tangent of 2θ is negative.

The adjacent side to θ is 7 because √ (25²-24²) = 7, so tanθ=7/24.

The double angle formula for tangent is tan 2θ = (2 tan θ) / (1 - tan² θ).

Substituting the value for tanθ in and keeping in mind that this is in quadrant IV, we get tan 2θ = - (2 (7/24) / (1 - (7/24) ²)).

Simplified, this becomes tan 2θ = - 336/527.

Therefore, the answer is C. - 336/527.
