The correct answer is:
$\pi$
Consider
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin \left(\pi \cos ^2 x\right)}{x^2} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin \left(\pi-\pi \sin ^2 x\right)}{x^2} \\
& =\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin \left(\pi \sin ^2 x\right)}{\pi \sin ^2 x} \times \frac{\left(\pi \sin ^2 x\right)}{x^2}=\pi
\end{aligned}
$$
