Solution

The correct option is B commute
$A^{- 1} B^{- 1} = (B A)^{- 1} = (A B)^{- 1}$ since $A, B$ commute
$\Rightarrow A^{- 1} B^{- 1} = B^{- 1} A^{- 1}$
Hence $A^{- 1}, B^{- 1}$ also commute

Q. Assertion :If the matrices A, B, (A + B) are nonsingular, then

[A (A + B)^{- 1} B]^{- 1} = B^{- 1} + A^{- 1}

[A (A + B)^{- 1} B]^{- 1} = [A (A^{- 1} + B^{- 1}) B]^{- 1} = [(I + A B^{- 1}) B]^{- 1} = [(B + A B^{- 1} B)]^{- 1} = [(B + A I)]^{- 1} = [(B + 1)]^{- 1} = B^{- 1} + A^{- 1}
