Let the function $f: (0, \pi) \rightarrow R$ be defined by $f(\theta) = (\sin \theta + \cos \theta)^2 + (\sin \theta - \cos \theta)^4$. Suppose the function $f$ has a local minimum at $\theta$ precisely when $\theta \in \{\lambda_1 \pi, \dots, \lambda_r \pi\}$,where $0 < \lambda_1 < \dots < \lambda_r < 1$. Then the value of $\lambda_1 + \dots + \lambda_r$ is:

  • A
    $0.40$
  • B
    $0.50$
  • C
    $0.60$
  • D
    $0.70$
