Correct Answer: Option A
Explanation

The inverse of the inverse of a function gives the function 

i.e \(f^{-1}(f^{-1}(x)) = f(x)\)

\(f^{-1}(x) = \frac{x + 1}{4}\)

Take y = x, so

\(f^{-1}(y) = \frac{y + 1}{4}\)

Let \(x = f^{-1}(y)\),

\(x = \frac{y + 1}{4} \implies 4x = y + 1\)

\(y = f(x) = 4x - 1\)
