To identify the phase shift and write the equation of the sine function, we need to analyze the given table and the values provided for \( f(x) \).

The table provides:

- When \( x = 0 \), \( f(0) = 1 \)
- When \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \), \( f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \)
- When \( x = \pi \), \( f(\pi) = -1 \)
- When \( x = \frac{3\pi}{2} \), \( f\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \)
- When \( x = 2\pi \), \( f(2\pi) = 1 \)

This behavior suggests that the function is a sine function, which typically has a maximum value of 1 at \( x = 0 \) without any phase shift.

However, the function appears to have values shifted one quarter of the way through its cycle. Specifically, a typical sine function, \( f(x) = \sin x \), would attain its maximum at \( x = 0 \). Since our function is also at \( f(0) = 1 \), this suggests it is a sine function, but we need to determine if there's a phase shift.

From the table, when \( x \) is at its maximum (\( f(x) = 1 \)), it results in a sine function that shifted to the left. The value of \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) would naturally give a 0 value from \( \sin x \), but here, it appears to be shifted to give a max at \( x = 0 \).

Recognizing this, the phase shift can be determined by observing that:

\[ f(x) = \sin(x + \frac{\pi}{2}) \]

Since \( \sin(x + \frac{\pi}{2}) \) would match the given values in the table,

The shifted sine function corresponds to:

- A **phase shift** to the left, which can be represented as "c" in the context of sine functions. Here, \( c = \frac{\pi}{2} \).

Thus, the equation of the function is:

\[ f(x) = \sin(x + \frac{\pi}{2}) \]

The correct response that reflects this fact is:

**f(x) = sin(x + π/2)**.
