Step 1: Concept
Use substitution $u = \frac{1}{x^8} + 1$.
Step 2: Analysis
$du = -8x^{-9} dx = \frac{-8}{x^9} dx$.
The integral structure involves powers that match the resulting exponent in the final answer.
Step 3: Conclusion
Comparing the powers and coefficients of the integral result leads to $p = -1/3$.
Final Answer: (B)
