Answer:
B.
Explanation:
The relation between a function f(x) and its inverse g(x) is ...
f(g(x)) = g(f(x)) = x
On can compute these functions of functions, or take an easier route and do the computation with a couple of numbers. It is often easiest to use x=0 or x=1. If we find g(f(x)) ≠ x, then we know the functions are not inverses. If we find g(f(x)) = x for one particular value of x, then we need to try at least one more to verify the relation.

If we call the two given functions f and g, then we have ...
A. f(0) = -2/3, g(-2/3) ≠ 0 . . . . not inverses
__
B. f(0) = -3/2, g(-3/2) = 0 . . . . possible inverses
f(1) = 4/2 = 2, g(2) = 7/7 = 1 . . . . probable inverses
__
C. f(0) = -2, g(-2) = 0 . . . . possible inverses
f(1) = 1/2, g(1/2) = -5/3 . . . . not inverses
__
D. f(0) = 5, g(5) = 27 . . . . not inverses

Additional comment
Our assessment above is sufficiently convincing to let us choose an answer. If we want to verify the functions are inverses, we need to graph them or compute f(g(x)). The graph in the second attachment shows each appears to be the reflection of the other in the line y=x, as required of function inverses.
