It depends on what you mean by the delimiting carats "^"...
Since you use parentheses appropriately in the answer choices, I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume something like "^x^" stands for
.
In that case, you want to find the antiderivative,
Complete the square in the denominator:
Now substitute
, so that 
. Then
which simplifies to
Now, recall that
. But we want the substitution we made to be reversible, so that
which implies that
. (This is the range of the inverse sine function.)
Under these conditions, we have
, which lets us reduce 
. Finally,
and back-substituting to get this in terms of
yields
