Parity of composed functions

Calculus Level 2

Let o ( x ) o(x) be an odd function and let e ( x ) e (x) be an even function.

What can be said about o ( o ( e ( o ( e ( o ( x ) ) ) ) ) ) ) o (o (e(o(e (o(x))))))) ?

It is odd It is not even nor odd It is even

o ( o ( e ( o ( e ( o ( x ) ) ) ) ) ) = o ( o ( e ( o ( e ( o ( x ) ) ) ) ) ) = o ( o ( e ( o ( e ( o ( x ) ) ) ) ) ) o (o (e (o ( e ( o (-x)))))) = o (o (e (o ( e (- o (x)))))) = o (o (e (o ( e ( o (x)))))) therefore the function is even.

It can be done intuitively by considering a negative sign going down through filters (odd functions let it go further but even expel it) so if the composed funtion has at least one even function the hole is even.
