If I understand the intention correctly, which is to call the function on the given type of script, then there are a few ways to do this. Not sure if this is suitable for your exact problem, but an OOP organized way with generics would be something like this:

using UnityEngine;

public class TestClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    private void Start()
    {
        gameObject.AddComponent<ExampleFunctionClass1>();
        gameObject.AddComponent<ExampleFunctionClass2>();

        DoFunction<ExampleFunctionClass1>();
        DoFunction<ExampleFunctionClass2>();
    }

    private void DoFunction<T>() where T : MonoBehaviourWithFunction
    {
        gameObject.GetComponent<T>().Function();
    }
}

public abstract class MonoBehaviourWithFunction : MonoBehaviour
{
    public abstract void Function();
}

public class ExampleFunctionClass1 : MonoBehaviourWithFunction
{
    public override void Function()
    {
        Debug.Log("Function from 1!");
    }
}

public class ExampleFunctionClass2 : MonoBehaviourWithFunction
{
    public override void Function()
    {
        Debug.Log("Function from 2!");
    }
}

This works because C# knows any type derived from MonoBehaviourWithFunction will have the Function() and the DoFunction<T>() knows that you will tell it which type to use.
