The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

We begin by recognizing that the sum of \( \sin^{-1} \sqrt{x} \) and \( \cos^{-1} \sqrt{x} \) is equal to \( \frac{\pi}{2} \), due to the identity \( \sin^{-1} x + \cos^{-1} x = \frac{\pi}{2} \). Therefore, the integral becomes: \[ \int \left( \frac{\pi}{2} \right) \, dx = \frac{\pi}{2} x + C \] Thus, the solution is \( \frac{x}{2} + C \), which is the correct answer.
