Here is the picture of the question:

The curves are arcs of circles centered at the vertices of the square. The sides are 4 inches long. M, N, P, Q are midpoints of sides.

Multiple choices given are:

A. 0.86
B. 4
C. 16
D. 3.43

I tried to solve it by treating each side of the shaded region as a quarter of a circle, but I'm not sure where to go from there. Help is appreciated.
Sorry for the bad drawing.
