The correct answer is: \(\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}\)
\(\begin{aligned}
\sin 210^{\circ} \cdot \sin 585^{\circ} & =\sin \left(180^{\circ}+30^{\circ}\right) \cdot \sin \left(540^{\circ}+45^{\circ}\right) \\
& =-\sin 30^{\circ}\left(-\sin 45^{\circ}\right) \\
& =\frac{-1}{2} \times \frac{-1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{2}}
\end{aligned}\)
Hence, option (a) is correct.
