(C) Given expression: $S = \sin^4 \frac{\pi}{8} + \sin^4 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \sin^4 \frac{5\pi}{8} + \sin^4 \frac{7\pi}{8}$.Since $\sin(\pi - 	heta) = \sin 	heta$,we have $\sin \frac{7\pi}{8} = \sin \frac{\pi}{8}$ and $\sin \frac{5\pi}{8} = \sin \frac{3\pi}{8}$.Thus,$S = 2 \left( \sin^4 \frac{\pi}{8} + \sin^4 \frac{3\pi}{8} ight)$.Using the identity $2 \sin^2 	heta = 1 - \cos 2	heta$,we have $\sin^2 	heta = \frac{1 - \cos 2	heta}{2}$.So,$\sin^4 	heta = \left( \frac{1 - \cos 2	heta}{2} ight)^2 = \frac{1}{4} (1 - 2 \cos 2	heta + \cos^2 2	heta)$.$S = 2 \left[ \frac{1}{4} (1 - 2 \cos \frac{\pi}{4} + \cos^2 \frac{\pi}{4}) + \frac{1}{4} (1 - 2 \cos \frac{3\pi}{4} + \cos^2 \frac{3\pi}{4}) ight]$.$S = \frac{1}{2} \left[ (1 - 2(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}) + \frac{1}{2}) + (1 - 2(-\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}) + \frac{1}{2}) ight]$.$S = \frac{1}{2} \left[ (1 - \sqrt{2} + 0.5) + (1 + \sqrt{2} + 0.5) ight] = \frac{1}{2} [1.5 + 1.5] = \frac{1}{2} (3) = \frac{3}{2}$.

$\sin^4 \frac{\pi}{8} + \sin^4 \frac{3\pi}{8} + \sin^4 \frac{5\pi}{8} + \sin^4 \frac{7\pi}{8} = $
