(C) 0 and 1
(D) less than 0
✓ Correct Answer: Option A Verified Solution

📘 Step-by-Step Solution & Detailed Explanation:

\(f(x) = \sin^5 x + \sin^3 x\) is an odd function, so \(f(-x) = -f(x)\) and \(f(x) + f(-x) = 0\).

The integrand is therefore \(0 \times [g(x) + g(-x)] = 0\), and the integral is 0.

Answer: (A) 0
