Answer

cosecant

Work Step by Step

Among the six trigonometric functions, sine and cosine and their respective reciprocal functions, cosecant and secant, have a period of $2\pi$. Having $x\ne n\pi$ where $n$ is an integer means that the function is not defined for multiples of $\pi$ including $0$. Note that the cosecant function has, as its vertical asymptotes., the lines $x=...-3\pi, -2\pi, -\pi, 0, \pi, 2\pi, 3\pi, ...$. Therefore, the function that satisfies all the dscription is the cpsecant function.
