(C) Given equation: $2\sin^3\alpha - 7\sin^2\alpha + 7\sin\alpha - 2 = 0$.Let $x = \sin\alpha$. Then $2x^3 - 7x^2 + 7x - 2 = 0$.By testing roots,$x = 1$ is a root since $2(1)^3 - 7(1)^2 + 7(1) - 2 = 0$.Dividing by $(x - 1)$,we get $(x - 1)(2x^2 - 5x + 2) = 0$.Factoring the quadratic: $(x - 1)(2x - 1)(x - 2) = 0$.So,$\sin\alpha = 1$,$\sin\alpha = \frac{1}{2}$,or $\sin\alpha = 2$.Since $-1 \leq \sin\alpha \leq 1$,$\sin\alpha = 2$ is impossible.For $\sin\alpha = 1$ in $[0, 2\pi]$,$\alpha = \frac{\pi}{2}$ ($1$ value).For $\sin\alpha = \frac{1}{2}$ in $[0, 2\pi]$,$\alpha = \frac{\pi}{6}, \frac{5\pi}{6}$ ($2$ values).Total number of values = $1 + 2 = 3$.

The number of values of $\alpha$ in $[0, 2\pi]$ for which $2\sin^3\alpha - 7\sin^2\alpha + 7\sin\alpha = 2$ is:
