  1. A.a circle of radius 1
  2. B.the line through the origin with slope – 1
  3. C.a circle of radius $${1 \over 2}$$
  4. D.the line through the origin with slope 1correct

Answer

D. the line through the origin with slope 1

Explanation

Let the complex number z = x + iy Now given | (x + iy) - 1 | = | (x+iy) - i | $$ \Rightarrow $$ (x - 1)2 + y2 = x2 + (y - 1)2 $$ \Rightarrow $$ x = y $$ \therefore $$ the correct answer is option (D)
