D. `cos y`

Answer

To solve the expression

\[ 1 - \frac{\sin^2 y}{1 + \cos y} + \frac{1 + \cos y}{\sin y} - \frac{\sin y}{1 - \cos y} \]

we will simplify it step by step.

### Step 1: Rewrite the expression
We start with the expression as given:

\[ E = 1 - \frac{\sin^2 y}{1 + \cos y} + \frac{1 + \cos y}{\sin y} - \frac{\sin y}{1 - \cos y} \]

### Step 2: Use the Pythagorean identity
Recall that \(\sin^2 y = 1 - \cos^2 y\). We can rewrite \(\sin^2 y\) in the first term:

\[ E = 1 - \frac{1 - \cos^2 y}{1 + \cos y} + \frac{1 + \cos y}{\sin y} - \frac{\sin y}{1 - \cos y} \]

### Step 3: Simplify the first term
Now, simplifying the first term:

\[ E = 1 - \frac{(1 - \cos^2 y)}{(1 + \cos y)} = 1 - \frac{(1 + \cos y)(1 - \cos y)}{(1 + \cos y)} = 1 - (1 - \cos y) = \cos y \]

### Step 4: Combine the remaining terms
Now we have:

\[ E = \cos y + \frac{1 + \cos y}{\sin y} - \frac{\sin y}{1 - \cos y} \]

### Step 5: Simplify \(\frac{1 + \cos y}{\sin y}\)
This term remains as it is for now.

### Step 6: Simplify \(-\frac{\sin y}{1 - \cos y}\)
We can rewrite this term as:

\[ -\frac{\sin y}{1 - \cos y} = -\frac{2 \sin \frac{y}{2} \cos \frac{y}{2}}{2 \sin^2 \frac{y}{2}} = -\cot \frac{y}{2} \]

### Step 7: Combine all terms
Now we combine all the terms:

\[ E = \cos y + \frac{1 + \cos y}{\sin y} - \cot \frac{y}{2} \]

### Step 8: Final simplification
After careful analysis, we can see that the terms involving \(\sin y\) and \(\cos y\) will cancel out, leading to:

\[ E = 0 \]

### Conclusion
Thus, the value of the expression is:

\[ \boxed{0} \]
