If

Given the function \( f(x) = \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot [x] + \cos\left(-e^2\right) \cdot [x] \), where \( [x] \) represents the greatest integer function (also known as the floor function), we need to analyze the value of \( f(x) \) for different values of \( x \).

### Step 1: Simplify the Function
We start by recognizing that \( \cos\left(e^2\right) = \cos\left(-e^2\right) \) because the cosine function is an even function, meaning \( \cos(-\theta) = \cos(\theta) \). So the function simplifies to:

\[
f(x) = \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot [x] + \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot [x] 
\]
\[
f(x) = 2 \cdot \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot [x]
\]

### Step 2: Evaluate \( f(x) \) for Specific Values
Let's evaluate the function for the given specific values of \( x \).

1. **For \( x = \pi \):**
   \[
   f(\pi) = 2 \cdot \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot [\pi]
   \]
   Since \( \pi \) is approximately 3.14159, \( [\pi] = 3 \):
   \[
   f(\pi) = 2 \cdot \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot 3
   \]
   This is not necessarily equal to 1 unless \( \cos\left(e^2\right) \) is a specific value, but it's not generally 1.

2. **For \( x = 2\pi \):**
   \[
   f(2\pi) = 2 \cdot \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot [2\pi]
   \]
   Since \( 2\pi \) is approximately 6.28318, \( [2\pi] = 6 \):
   \[
   f(2\pi) = 2 \cdot \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot 6
   \]
   Again, this is not necessarily equal to 1.

3. **For \( x = \frac{\pi}{2} \):**
   \[
   f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 2 \cdot \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot \left[\frac{\pi}{2}\right]
   \]
   Since \( \frac{\pi}{2} \) is approximately 1.5708, \( \left[\frac{\pi}{2}\right] = 1 \):
   \[
   f\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 2 \cdot \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot 1 = 2 \cdot \cos\left(e^2\right)
   \]
   This is not necessarily equal to 1.

4. **For \( x = \frac{\pi}{4} \):**
   \[
   f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 2 \cdot \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot \left[\frac{\pi}{4}\right]
   \]
   Since \( \frac{\pi}{4} \) is approximately 0.7854, \( \left[\frac{\pi}{4}\right] = 0 \):
   \[
   f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = 2 \cdot \cos\left(e^2\right) \cdot 0 = 0
   \]
   This is certainly not equal to 1.

### Conclusion
From this analysis:
- \( f(\pi) = 6 \cdot \cos(e^2) \)
- \( f(2\pi) = 12 \cdot \cos(e^2) \)
- \( f(\frac{\pi}{2}) = 2 \cdot \cos(e^2) \)
- \( f(\frac{\pi}{4}) = 0 \)

None of these values are guaranteed to be 1 under general circumstances, so **none of the options given are correct**.
