For $x ge 0$ you have
$$(1+x^2)^n ge 1+nx^2$$ hence
$$frac{1}{(1+x^2)^n} le frac{1}{1+n x^2}$$ and



$$u_n = int_0^1 frac{dx}{(1+x^2)^n} le int_0^1 frac{dx}{1+nx^2} = frac{1}{sqrt{n}}int_0^sqrt{n} frac{du}{1+u^2} le frac{1}{sqrt{n}}int_0^infty frac{du}{1+u^2} = frac{pi}{2 sqrt{n}}$$ using integral by substitution and the classical result
$$int_0^infty frac{du}{1+u^2} = frac{pi}{2}.$$



Therefore if $L$ exists as supposed in the hypothesis, we have
$$L le frac{pi}{2} < 2$$
proving that the right answer is (A).

For $xin [0,1],$



$$frac{1}{1+x^2} le 1-frac{x^2}{2}.$$



Thus our expression is bounded above by



$$sqrt nint_0^1 (1-x^2/2)^n, dx.$$



Let $x=y/sqrt n.$ The above turns into



$$int_0^sqrt n (1-y^2/(2n))^n, dyle int_0^infty e^{-y^2/2},dy = sqrt 2frac{ sqrt pi}{2} <2.$$
