(D) Let $I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sqrt{\sin x}}{\sqrt{\sin x}+\sqrt{\cos x}} d x$ .... $(1)$
Using the property $\int_{0}^{a} f(x) d x = \int_{0}^{a} f(a-x) d x$,we get:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sqrt{\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}}{\sqrt{\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}+\sqrt{\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x)}} d x$
Since $\sin(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) = \cos x$ and $\cos(\frac{\pi}{2}-x) = \sin x$,we have:
$I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sqrt{\cos x}}{\sqrt{\cos x}+\sqrt{\sin x}} d x$ .... $(2)$
Adding $(1)$ and $(2)$:
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \frac{\sqrt{\sin x} + \sqrt{\cos x}}{\sqrt{\sin x} + \sqrt{\cos x}} d x$
$2I = \int_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} 1 d x$
$2I = [x]_{0}^{\frac{\pi}{2}}$
$2I = \frac{\pi}{2} - 0$
$2I = \frac{\pi}{2}$
$I = \frac{\pi}{4}$
