(C) We know that $\sin 54^\circ = \cos 36^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}$.Consider the expression $E = \sin 12^\circ \sin 48^\circ \sin 54^\circ$.Using the formula $2 \sin A \sin B = \cos(A-B) - \cos(A+B)$:$E = \frac{1}{2} [\cos(48^\circ - 12^\circ) - \cos(48^\circ + 12^\circ)] \sin 54^\circ$$E = \frac{1}{2} [\cos 36^\circ - \cos 60^\circ] \sin 54^\circ$Since $\sin 54^\circ = \cos 36^\circ$ and $\cos 60^\circ = 1/2$:$E = \frac{1}{2} [\cos 36^\circ - 1/2] \cos 36^\circ$$E = \frac{1}{2} [\cos^2 36^\circ - \frac{1}{2} \cos 36^\circ]$Substituting $\cos 36^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4}$:$E = \frac{1}{2} [(\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4})^2 - \frac{1}{2} (\frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{4})]$$E = \frac{1}{2} [\frac{5+1+2\sqrt{5}}{16} - \frac{\sqrt{5}+1}{8}]$$E = \frac{1}{2} [\frac{6+2\sqrt{5}}{16} - \frac{2\sqrt{5}+2}{16}]$$E = \frac{1}{2} [\frac{4}{16}] = \frac{1}{8}$.
