Correct answer: B

Explanation

  1. Put t=x2t = x^{2}, dt=2x dxdt = 2x\,dx: 12∫dtt2+1\frac{1}{2}\int \frac{dt}{t^{2} + 1}.

  2. =12tan⁡−1t=12tan⁡−1x2+C= \frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1} t = \frac{1}{2}\tan^{-1} x^{2} + C.

Worth noting

14log⁡(x4+1)\frac{1}{4}\log(x^{4} + 1) would need x3x^{3} on top, the derivative of x4x^{4}.
