Let $f(x) = Ax^3 - Bx - \tan x \cdot \text{sgn}(x)$ be an even function for all $x \in \mathbb{R} - \left\{ (2n + 1) \frac{\pi}{2}, n \in \mathbb{Z} \right\}$, where $A = \sin^2 \alpha - \sin \alpha + \frac{1}{4}$ and $B = \tan^2 \alpha + \frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} \tan \alpha + \frac{1}{3}$. Then the number of values of $\alpha$ in $\left[ -\frac{3\pi}{2}, 2\pi \right]$ is (where $\text{sgn}(x)$ denotes the signum function of $x$).

  • A
    $0$
  • B
    $1$
  • C
    $2$
  • D
    $4$
