    Explanation
    The trombone plays in the bass clef. The bass clef is used to notate lower-pitched instruments, and the trombone is a low-pitched brass instrument. The cello also plays in the bass clef, as it is a string instrument with a low range. The tenor sax, however, plays in the treble clef, which is used for higher-pitched instruments. Therefore, the correct answer is trombone.
