(D) Let $S = \cos \frac{\pi}{7} - \cos \frac{2\pi}{7} + \cos \frac{3\pi}{7} - \cos \frac{4\pi}{7} + \cos \frac{5\pi}{7} - \cos \frac{6\pi}{7}$.Using the property $\cos(\pi - 	heta) = -\cos 	heta$,we have $\cos \frac{6\pi}{7} = -\cos \frac{\pi}{7}$,$\cos \frac{5\pi}{7} = -\cos \frac{2\pi}{7}$,and $\cos \frac{4\pi}{7} = -\cos \frac{3\pi}{7}$.Substituting these into the expression:$S = \cos \frac{\pi}{7} - \cos \frac{2\pi}{7} + \cos \frac{3\pi}{7} - (-\cos \frac{3\pi}{7}) + (-\cos \frac{2\pi}{7}) - (-\cos \frac{\pi}{7})$$S = \cos \frac{\pi}{7} - \cos \frac{2\pi}{7} + \cos \frac{3\pi}{7} + \cos \frac{3\pi}{7} - \cos \frac{2\pi}{7} + \cos \frac{\pi}{7}$$S = 2 \cos \frac{\pi}{7} - 2 \cos \frac{2\pi}{7} + 2 \cos \frac{3\pi}{7}$.Multiply and divide by $2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7}$:$S = \frac{2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7} \cos \frac{\pi}{7} - 2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7} \cos \frac{2\pi}{7} + 2 \sin \frac{\pi}{7} \cos \frac{3\pi}{7}}{\sin \frac{\pi}{7}}$Using $2 \sin A \cos B = \sin(A+B) + \sin(A-B)$:$S = \frac{\sin \frac{2\pi}{7} - (\sin \frac{3\pi}{7} - \sin \frac{\pi}{7}) + (\sin \frac{4\pi}{7} - \sin \frac{2\pi}{7})}{\sin \frac{\pi}{7}}$$S = \frac{\sin \frac{2\pi}{7} - \sin \frac{3\pi}{7} + \sin \frac{\pi}{7} + \sin \frac{4\pi}{7} - \sin \frac{2\pi}{7}}{\sin \frac{\pi}{7}}$Since $\sin \frac{4\pi}{7} = \sin(\pi - \frac{4\pi}{7}) = \sin \frac{3\pi}{7}$,the terms cancel out:$S = \frac{\sin \frac{\pi}{7}}{\sin \frac{\pi}{7}} = 1$.

$\cos \frac{\pi}{7} - \cos \frac{2\pi}{7} + \cos \frac{3\pi}{7} - \cos \frac{4\pi}{7} + \cos \frac{5\pi}{7} - \cos \frac{6\pi}{7} = $
