1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2} - x\right)$.
2. **Recall the sine difference identity:** For any angles $A$ and $B$,
$$\sin(A - B) = \sin A \cos B - \cos A \sin B.$$
3. **Apply the identity:** Let $A = \frac{3\pi}{2}$ and $B = x$, so
$$\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2} - x\right) = \sin\frac{3\pi}{2} \cos x - \cos\frac{3\pi}{2} \sin x.$$
4. **Evaluate the trigonometric values:**
- $\sin\frac{3\pi}{2} = -1$
- $\cos\frac{3\pi}{2} = 0$
5. **Substitute these values back:**
$$\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2} - x\right) = (-1) \cdot \cos x - 0 \cdot \sin x = -\cos x.$$
6. **Final simplified form:**
$$\sin\left(\frac{3\pi}{2} - x\right) = -\cos x.$$
**Answer:** d. $-\cos x$
