2017 AMC 12B Problem 7

Since $\cos(\sin(x + \pi))$ $= \cos(-\sin(x))$ $= \cos(\sin(x)),$ the function has period $\pi.$ It cannot be smaller: $\cos(\sin(x)) = 1$ exactly when $\sin(x) = 0,$ which happens only at integer multiples of $\pi,$ so the maxima are spaced $\pi$ apart. The least period is $\pi.$ Thus, the correct answer is B.
