detailed solution

Correct option is C

$\begin{aligned} 1 + \cos 56^{\circ} + \cos 58^{\circ} - \cos 66^{\circ} \\ = 2 \cos^{2} 28^{\circ} + 2 \sin 62^{\circ} \sin 4^{\circ} \\ = 2 \cos^{2} 28^{\circ} + 2 \cos 28^{\circ} \cos 86^{\circ} \\ = 2 \cos 28^{\circ} (\cos 28^{\circ} + \cos 86^{\circ}) \\ = 2 \cos 28^{\circ} (2 \cos 57^{\circ} \cos 29^{\circ}) \\ = 4 \cos 28^{\circ} \cos 29^{\circ} \cos 33^{\circ} \end{aligned}$
