(D) We have,$\cos 12^{\circ} + \cos 84^{\circ} + \cos 132^{\circ} + \cos 156^{\circ}$.Using the sum-to-product formula $\cos C + \cos D = 2 \cos \frac{C+D}{2} \cos \frac{C-D}{2}$:$= (\cos 132^{\circ} + \cos 12^{\circ}) + (\cos 156^{\circ} + \cos 84^{\circ})$$= 2 \cos \frac{132^{\circ}+12^{\circ}}{2} \cos \frac{132^{\circ}-12^{\circ}}{2} + 2 \cos \frac{156^{\circ}+84^{\circ}}{2} \cos \frac{156^{\circ}-84^{\circ}}{2}$$= 2 \cos 72^{\circ} \cos 60^{\circ} + 2 \cos 120^{\circ} \cos 36^{\circ}$$= 2 \left( \frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4} \right) \left( \frac{1}{2} \right) + 2 \left( -\frac{1}{2} \right) \left( \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4} \right)$$= \frac{\sqrt{5}-1}{4} - \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}$$= \frac{\sqrt{5}-1-\sqrt{5}-1}{4} = -\frac{2}{4} = -\frac{1}{2}$.

The value of the series $\cos 12^{\circ} + \cos 84^{\circ} + \cos 132^{\circ} + \cos 156^{\circ}$ is
