= Solution

Use the <associativity> of <function composition> to cancel adjacent <inverse functions> in the right order:
$$
f\circ g\circ g^{-1}\circ f^{-1}=f\circ\operatorname{id}\circ f^{-1}=\operatorname{id}.
$$
Therefore
$$
\boxed{\text{True: }(f\circ g)\circ(g^{-1}\circ f^{-1})=\operatorname{id}.}
$$
