Answer

See the explanation.

Work Step by Step

Let $F=f\circ g\circ h$. Let $u=h(x)$ and $v=g(h(x))$. We have $v=g(u)$ and $F=f(v)$. Using the Chain Rule, $F'(x)=\frac{dF}{dx}$ $=\frac{dF}{dv}\cdot \frac{dv}{du}\cdot \frac{du}{dx}$ $=f'(v)\cdot g'(u)\cdot h'(x)$ $=f'(g(h(x))\cdot g'(h(x))\cdot h'(x)$
