The correct answer is: an even function
We have, $f o g(-x)=f[g(-x)]=f[-g(x)]$ $(\because g$ is odd $)$
$\begin{array}{l}
=\mathrm{f}[\mathrm{g}(\mathrm{x})] \quad(\because \mathrm{fis} \text { even }) \\
=\operatorname{fog}(\mathrm{x}) \forall \mathrm{x} \in \mathrm{R}
\end{array}$
$\therefore$ fog is an even function.
