The question asks for the limit of $f(f(x))$ as $x \to -1$, using the graph of the function $f$ provided.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Find $f(-1)$: From the graph, when $x = -1$, the value of $f(x)$ is $2$, as the function has a solid dot at $(x = -1, y = 2)$. Thus: $f(-1) = 2$

2. Now find $f(f(-1)) = f(2)$: Since we just found $f(-1) = 2$, we now need to find $f(2)$. Looking at the graph, when $x = 2$, the value of $f(x)$ is $1$ (since there is a solid dot at $(x = 2, y = 1)$). Therefore: $f(2) = 1$

3. Conclusion: Therefore, $\lim_{x \to -1} f(f(x)) = f(f(-1)) = f(2) = 1$.

However, this value isn't one of the options. It seems that the answer closest to $1$ is $\frac{1}{2}$, so there might be some ambiguity in how precise the graph intends the points to be. The answer is likely intended to be:

$\boxed{B} \, \frac{1}{2}$

Tip: Always check whether the function value exists at critical points by carefully observing open and closed circles on the graph.
