D. `71/15-(3pi)/2`

Explanation

To solve the integral

\[ I = \int_0^1 \frac{x^4(1-x)^4}{1+x^2} \, dx, \]

we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Expand \((1-x)^4\) using the Binomial Theorem

Using the binomial expansion, we have:

\[ (1-x)^4 = \sum_{k=0}^{4} \binom{4}{k} (-x)^k = 1 - 4x + 6x^2 - 4x^3 + x^4. \]

### Step 2: Substitute the expansion into the integral

Substituting this expansion into our integral, we get:

\[ I = \int_0^1 \frac{x^4(1 - 4x + 6x^2 - 4x^3 + x^4)}{1+x^2} \, dx. \]

### Step 3: Distribute \(x^4\) across the expanded polynomial

Now, we distribute \(x^4\) to each term in the polynomial:

\[ I = \int_0^1 \frac{x^4 - 4x^5 + 6x^6 - 4x^7 + x^8}{1+x^2} \, dx. \]

### Step 4: Split the integral

We can split the integral into separate parts:

\[ I = \int_0^1 \frac{x^4}{1+x^2} \, dx - 4 \int_0^1 \frac{x^5}{1+x^2} \, dx + 6 \int_0^1 \frac{x^6}{1+x^2} \, dx - 4 \int_0^1 \frac{x^7}{1+x^2} \, dx + \int_0^1 \frac{x^8}{1+x^2} \, dx. \]

### Step 5: Evaluate each integral

We will evaluate the integral \(\int_0^1 \frac{x^n}{1+x^2} \, dx\) using the substitution \(u = x^2\), which gives \(du = 2x \, dx\) or \(dx = \frac{du}{2\sqrt{u}}\):

\[ \int_0^1 \frac{x^n}{1+x^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \int_0^1 \frac{u^{(n-1)/2}}{1+u} \, du. \]

Using the known result for these integrals, we can compute:

1. \(\int_0^1 \frac{x^4}{1+x^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{\pi}{4} = \frac{\pi}{8}\)
2. \(\int_0^1 \frac{x^5}{1+x^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{5\pi}{8} = \frac{5\pi}{16}\)
3. \(\int_0^1 \frac{x^6}{1+x^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{3\pi}{8} = \frac{3\pi}{16}\)
4. \(\int_0^1 \frac{x^7}{1+x^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{7\pi}{16} = \frac{7\pi}{32}\)
5. \(\int_0^1 \frac{x^8}{1+x^2} \, dx = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{4\pi}{16} = \frac{4\pi}{32}\)

### Step 6: Substitute back into the integral

Now substituting these values back into our expression for \(I\):

\[ I = \frac{\pi}{8} - 4 \cdot \frac{5\pi}{16} + 6 \cdot \frac{3\pi}{16} - 4 \cdot \frac{7\pi}{32} + \frac{4\pi}{32}. \]

### Step 7: Simplify the expression

Combining these terms will give us the final value of \(I\):

\[ I = \frac{\pi}{8} - \frac{20\pi}{16} + \frac{18\pi}{16} - \frac{28\pi}{32} + \frac{4\pi}{32}. \]

### Step 8: Final Calculation

After simplifying, we find:

\[ I = \frac{22}{7} - \frac{\pi}{4}. \]

Thus, the final value of the integral is:

\[ \boxed{\frac{22}{7} - \frac{\pi}{4}}. \]
