Given that the inverse trigonometric function assumes principal values only. Let $x, y$ be any two real numbers in $[-1, 1]$ such that $\cos ^{-1} x - \sin ^{-1} y = \alpha$,where $-\frac{\pi}{2} \leq \alpha \leq \pi$. Then,the minimum value of $x^2 + y^2 + 2xy \sin \alpha$ is

  • A
    $-1$
  • B
    $0$
  • C
    $-\frac{1}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{1}{2}$
