Correct answer: B

  1. We need to find sin⁡10∘ sin⁡30∘ sin⁡50∘ sin⁡70∘.\sin 10^\circ\,\sin 30^\circ\,\sin 50^\circ\,\sin 70^\circ.sin10∘sin30∘sin50∘sin70∘.

  2. Use the known value sin⁡30∘=12.\sin 30^\circ=\frac12.sin30∘=21​. So the expression becomes

=\frac12\,\sin 10^\circ\sin 50^\circ\sin 70^\circ.$$ 3. Now use the standard identity $$\sin 3x=4\sin x\sin(60^\circ+x)\sin(60^\circ-x).$$ Take $x=10^\circ$. Then $$\sin 30^\circ=4\sin 10^\circ\sin 70^\circ\sin 50^\circ.$$ Since $\sin 30^\circ=\frac12$, we get $$\frac12=4\sin 10^\circ\sin 50^\circ\sin 70^\circ.$$ Therefore, $$\sin 10^\circ\sin 50^\circ\sin 70^\circ=\frac{1}{8}.$$ 4. Multiply by $\sin 30^\circ=\frac12$: $$\sin 10^\circ\sin 30^\circ\sin 50^\circ\sin 70^\circ =\frac12\cdot\frac18=\frac{1}{16}.$$ 5. Hence the correct option is $$\boxed{\frac{1}{16}}.$$ So, option **B** is correct.
