Answer:

none of the above.

Explanation:

Explanation :

To find the value of g(h(-8)), we need to first substitute -8 for x in the function h(x) = x-2. This gives us:

h(-8) = -8 - 2

h(-8) = -10

Then, we need to substitute -10 for x in the function g(x) = x+8. This gives us:

g(h(-8)) = g(-10)

g(-10) = -10 + 8

g(-10) = -2

Therefore, the value of g(h(-8)) is -2. This is not one of the options given, so the correct answer is none of the above.
