### Coordinate Plane Illustration and Trigonometric Analysis

**Diagram Description:**
The diagram shows a circle centered at the origin of a coordinate plane with radius \(1\). The circle is intersected by the \(x\)-axis and \(y\)-axis at points \((1, 0)\), \((-1, 0)\), \((0, 1)\), and \((0, -1)\). There is an angle \(\theta\) drawn from the positive \(x\)-axis counterclockwise to a point \(A\) on the circumference of the circle in the first quadrant. An additional line segment extends from \(A\) to point \(P\) on the circumference of the circle in the third quadrant (making an angle \(\theta\) in the third quadrant).

**Choices for Ordered Pair Coordinates of Point \(P\):**

Which ordered pair represents the coordinates of point \(P\)?

- **A)** \((- \sin \theta, - \cos \theta)\)
- **B)** \((- \cos \theta, - \sin \theta)\)
- **C)** \((- \sin (\theta - \pi), - \cos (\theta - \pi))\)
- **D)** \((- \cos (\theta - \pi), - \sin (\theta - \pi))\)

The correct answer is **highlighted in yellow**.

### Explanation:
Analyze the geometry and trigonometry:

1. **Point \(A\) Coordinates**: 
   - From the unit circle, \(A\) at angle \(\theta\) has coordinates \((\cos \theta, \sin \theta)\).

2. **Symmetric Point \(P\)**:
   - To find \(P\) in the third quadrant (opposite \(A\)), phase shift by \(\pi\) radians.
   - Coordinates of \(P\): \(P = A + \pi\), which becomes \((\cos (\theta + \pi), \sin (\theta + \pi))\).
   - Using trigonometric identities:
     - \(\cos (\theta + \pi) = -\cos \theta\)
     - \(\sin (\theta + \pi) = -\sin \theta\)

Thus, the coordinates of \(P\) are \((- \cos \theta, - \sin \theta)\). However, the corresponding multiple-choice option
