Answer:

d. 0

Explanation:

To solve the given trigonometric equation, let's use the trigonometric identity: sin²θ + cos²θ = 1. We can rewrite the equation provided as follows:

cos a + cos² B + cos² y = 3

Using the identity, we can rewrite it as:

1 - sin² a + 1 - sin² B + 1 - sin² y = 3

Simplifying further, we have:

3 - (sin² a + sin² B + sin² y) = 3

Rearranging the equation, we get:

sin² a + sin² B + sin² y = 3 - 3

sin² a + sin² B + sin² y = 0

Therefore, the value of sin² a + sin² B + sin² y is 0 (option d).
