Well, I think the options are wrong...The answer I'm getting is Π.

Since the integration limits are from "symmetric" x can be replaced with -x.

Add the new integral that results with this replacement to the original integral.

2I=(integral)(xsin(x))  within the same limits.Just carry out this integral to get the answer.
