Given that \( \int_0^1 \frac{e^x}{1+x} \, dx = \alpha \), we are asked to compute \( \int_0^1 \frac{e^x}{(1+x)^2} \, dx \). By applying integration by parts or substitution, this integral evaluates to \( \alpha - 1 - \frac{e}{2} \). Therefore, the correct answer is (C) \( \alpha - 1 - \frac{e}{2} \).
