The correct answer is: $1-\frac{\pi}{4}$
Let $\begin{aligned} I &=\int_{0}^{1} \frac{x^{2}}{1+x^{2}} d x=\int_{0}^{1} \frac{\left(1+x^{2}\right)-1}{1+x^{2}} d x=\int_{0}^{1}\left(\frac{1+x^{2}}{1+x^{2}}-\frac{1}{1+x^{2}}\right) d x=\int_{0}^{1}\left(1-\frac{1}{1+x^{2}}\right) d x \\ &=\left[x-\tan ^{-1} x\right]_{0}^{1}=1-\frac{\pi}{4} \end{aligned}$
