The area of the region $$\{(x,y): y \leq \pi - |x|, \; y \leq |x \sin x|, \; y \geq 0\}$$ is :
The region is defined by the three simultaneous inequalities
$$y \ge 0,$$
$$y \le \pi-|x|,$$
$$y \le |x\sin x|.$$
For any fixed $$x$$ the upper boundary is the smaller of the two curves
$$f_1(x)=\pi-|x| \qquad\text{and}\qquad f_2(x)=|x\sin x|.$$
Both $$f_1(x)$$ and $$f_2(x)$$ are even functions of $$x$$, so the required area is twice the area in the right half-plane $$x\ge 0$$.
For $$x\ge 0$$ the equations simplify to
$$f_1(x)=\pi-x, \qquad f_2(x)=x\sin x \quad(0\le x\le\pi).$$
Set the two curves equal to locate their intersection(s):
$$\pi-x = x\sin x \;\Longrightarrow\; \pi = x(1+\sin x).$$
This equation is satisfied at
$$x=0,\qquad x=\frac{\pi}{2},\qquad x=\pi.$$
Ignoring the trivial point $$x=0$$ (where $$f_2=0$$) we note the non-trivial intersection at $$x=\frac{\pi}{2}$$ and the common zero at $$x=\pi$$.
Test values show
$$f_2(x) \le f_1(x)\quad\text{for}\; 0\le x\le\frac{\pi}{2},$$
$$f_1(x) \le f_2(x)\quad\text{for}\; \frac{\pi}{2}\le x\le\pi.$$
Hence on $$[0,\pi/2]$$ the upper boundary is $$y=x\sin x$$; on $$[\pi/2,\pi]$$ it is $$y=\pi-x$$.
Area in the first quadrant (call it $$A_{\text{half}}$$):
$$
A_{\text{half}}
=\int_{0}^{\pi/2}x\sin x\,dx
+\int_{\pi/2}^{\pi}(\pi-x)\,dx.
$$
First integral (integration by parts):
$$
\int_{0}^{\pi/2}x\sin x\,dx
= -x\cos x\Big|_{0}^{\pi/2}+\int_{0}^{\pi/2}\cos x\,dx
= (0-0)+\left[\sin x\right]_{0}^{\pi/2}
=1.
$$
Second integral:
$$
\int_{\pi/2}^{\pi}(\pi-x)\,dx
= \left[\pi x-\frac{x^{2}}{2}\right]_{\pi/2}^{\pi}
= \left(\frac{\pi^{2}}{2}\right)-\left(\frac{3\pi^{2}}{8}\right)
= \frac{\pi^{2}}{8}.
$$
Thus
$$
A_{\text{half}} = 1+\frac{\pi^{2}}{8}.
$$
By symmetry the total area is
$$
A = 2A_{\text{half}}
= 2\Bigl(1+\frac{\pi^{2}}{8}\Bigr)
= 2+\frac{\pi^{2}}{4}.
$$
Therefore, the required area equals $$2+\dfrac{\pi^{2}}{4}$$.
Option B which is: $$2 + \dfrac{\pi^2}{4}$$.
