### Trigonometric Expression Evaluation

**Expression:**

\[ \cos(130^\circ)\cos(10^\circ) + \sin(130^\circ) \sin(10^\circ) \]

**Multiple Choice Answers:**

1. \[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]
   
   (circle option)
   
2. \[ -\frac{1}{2} \]
   
   (circle option)
   
3. \[ \frac{-\sqrt{3}}{2} \]
   
   (circle option)
   
4. \[ \frac{1}{2} \]
   
   (circle option)
   
5. \[ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{4} \]
   
   (circle option)

**Instructions:**

To solve this trigonometric expression, you need to use the angle sum formula for cosine:

\[ \cos(A + B) = \cos(A)\cos(B) - \sin(A)\sin(B) \]

Rewrite the expression accordingly and select the correct answer from the given options.
