Answer:

A. 20

Explanation:

We are given,

The function
f(x)=x^2+x and
g(x)=x-3.

It is required to find
f(g(7)).

Now, we have,


f(g(x))=f(x-3)\\\\f(g(x))=(x-3)^2+(x-3)

So, we get,


f(g(7))=(7-3)^2+(7-3)\\\\f(g(7))=4^2+4\\\\f(g(7))=16+4\\\\f(g(7))=20

Thus, the value of
f(g(7)) is 20.

So, option A is correct.
