Answer:

Option B is correct

Explanation:

Given:
h(x)=(1)/(x^2+1) is the result of the composition
f(g(x)).

Also,
g(x)=x^2+1

To find:
f(x)

Solution:

Take
f(x)=(1)/(x)

Now check whether
h(x) is equal to
f(g(x)) or not.

First find
f(g(x))


f(g(x))=f(x^2+1)=(1)/(x^2+1)

Also,
h(x)=(1)/(x^2+1)

Therefore,


h(x)=f(g(x))

So,

Option B is correct
