(C) Let the expression be $E = \frac{\cos 15^{\circ} \cos^2 22.5^{\circ} - \sin 75^{\circ} \sin^2 52.5^{\circ}}{\cos^2 15^{\circ} - \cos^2 75^{\circ}}$.Since $\sin 75^{\circ} = \cos 15^{\circ}$,the numerator becomes $\cos 15^{\circ} (\cos^2 22.5^{\circ} - \sin^2 52.5^{\circ})$.Using the identity $\cos^2 A - \sin^2 B = \cos(A+B) \cos(A-B)$,we have $\cos^2 22.5^{\circ} - \sin^2 52.5^{\circ} = \cos(75^{\circ}) \cos(-30^{\circ}) = \cos 75^{\circ} \cos 30^{\circ}$.So,the numerator is $\cos 15^{\circ} \cos 75^{\circ} \cos 30^{\circ}$.Since $\cos 75^{\circ} = \sin 15^{\circ}$,the numerator is $\cos 15^{\circ} \sin 15^{\circ} \cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{2} \sin 30^{\circ} \cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{1}{4} \sin 60^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}$.The denominator is $\cos^2 15^{\circ} - \cos^2 75^{\circ} = \cos^2 15^{\circ} - \sin^2 15^{\circ} = \cos 30^{\circ} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}$.Thus,$E = \frac{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{8}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = \frac{1}{4}$.

$\frac{\cos 15^{\circ} \cos^2 22\frac{1}{2}^{\circ} - \sin 75^{\circ} \sin^2 52\frac{1}{2}^{\circ}}{\cos^2 15^{\circ} - \cos^2 75^{\circ}} = $
