11. Eight congruent semicircles are drawn inside a square of side-length 4. Each semicircle begins at a vertex of the square and ends at a midpoint of an edge of the square. What is the area of the non-shaded part of the square?

  1. A \(2\pi\)
  2. B \(3\pi + 2\)
  3. C 8
  4. D \(6 + \pi\)
  5. E \(3\pi\)
