The correct answer is: \( 00 \)
Given that,
\[
\begin{array}{l}
\left|\begin{array}{l}
\cos 15^{\circ} \sin 15^{\circ} \\
\sin 75^{\circ} \cos 75^{\circ}
\end{array}\right| \\
=\cos 15^{\circ} \cos 75^{\circ}-\sin 15^{\circ} \sin 75^{\circ} \\
=\cos \left(15^{\circ}+75^{\circ}\right)=\cos \left(90^{\circ}\right)=0
\end{array}
\]
