Correct answer: C

  1. Interpret the set SSS geometrically

    The condition is ∣z−2+i∣≥5.|z-2+i|\ge \sqrt{5}.∣z−2+i∣≥5​.

    Write z−2+i=z−(2−i).z-2+i = z-(2-i).z−2+i=z−(2−i). Hence SSS is the set of all points in the complex plane whose distance from the point 2−i2-i2−i is at least 5\sqrt55​.

    So SSS is the exterior (including boundary) of the circle with center C=(2,−1)C=(2,-1)C=(2,−1) and radius r=5.r=\sqrt5.r=5​.

  2. Use the maximization condition

    We are told that 1∣z0−1∣\frac1{|z_0-1|}∣z0​−1∣1​ is maximum among all such values for z∈Sz\in Sz∈S.

    Maximizing 1∣z−1∣\dfrac1{|z-1|}∣z−1∣1​ is equivalent to minimizing ∣z−1∣|z-1|∣z−1∣.

    So z0z_0z0​ is the point in SSS closest to the point 111 on the real axis, i.e. the point P=(1,0).P=(1,0).P=(1,0).

  3. Find the nearest point on the circle/exterior to P=(1,0)P=(1,0)P=(1,0)

    Since PPP lies inside the circle or outside? Compute distance from center C=(2,−1)C=(2,-1)C=(2,−1) to P=(1,0)P=(1,0)P=(1,0): CP=(1−2)2+(0+1)2=1+1=2.CP=\sqrt{(1-2)^2+(0+1)^2}=\sqrt{1+1}=\sqrt2.CP=(1−2)2+(0+1)2​=1+1​=2​.

    Since 2<5,\sqrt2<\sqrt5,2​<5​, the point P=(1,0)P=(1,0)P=(1,0) lies inside the circle. Therefore, the nearest point in the exterior region SSS is the point on the boundary along the line from center CCC to PPP.

    Vector from CCC to PPP is (−1,1).(-1,1).(−1,1). Its magnitude is 2\sqrt22​, so the corresponding unit vector is (−12,12).\left(-\frac1{\sqrt2},\frac1{\sqrt2}\right).(−2​1​,2​1​).

    Therefore, z0=C+r⋅(unit vector from C to P)z_0 = C + r\cdot \text{(unit vector from $C$ to $P$)}z0​=C+r⋅(unit vector from C to P) =(2,−1)+5(−12,12).= (2,-1) + \sqrt5\left(-\frac1{\sqrt2},\frac1{\sqrt2}\right).=(2,−1)+5​(−2​1​,2​1​).

    Hence z0=2−102+i(−1+102).z_0 = 2-\frac{\sqrt{10}}2 + i\left(-1+\frac{\sqrt{10}}2\right).z0​=2−210​​+i(−1+210​​).

    Let z0=x+iy,z_0=x+iy,z0​=x+iy, where x=2−102,y=−1+102.x=2-\frac{\sqrt{10}}2,\qquad y=-1+\frac{\sqrt{10}}2.x=2−210​​,y=−1+210​​.

  4. Simplify the required expression

    We need the principal argument of 4−z0−z‾0z0−z‾0+2i.\frac{4-z_0-\overline z_0}{z_0-\overline z_0+2i}.z0​−z0​+2i4−z0​−z0​​.

    Since z0+z‾0=2xz_0+\overline z_0=2xz0​+z0​=2x and z0−z‾0=2iyz_0-\overline z_0=2iyz0​−z0​=2iy, we get 4−z0−z‾0=4−2x,4-z_0-\overline z_0 = 4-2x,4−z0​−z0​=4−2x, z0−z‾0+2i=2iy+2i=2i(y+1).z_0-\overline z_0+2i = 2iy+2i=2i(y+1).z0​−z0​+2i=2iy+2i=2i(y+1).

    Therefore,

    =\frac{4-2x}{2i(y+1)} =\frac{2-x}{i(y+1)}.$$ Now substitute $x$ and $y$: $$2-x = 2-\left(2-\frac{\sqrt{10}}2\right)=\frac{\sqrt{10}}2,$$ $$y+1 = -1+\frac{\sqrt{10}}2+1=\frac{\sqrt{10}}2.$$ So $$\frac{2-x}{i(y+1)}=\frac{\frac{\sqrt{10}}2}{i\cdot \frac{\sqrt{10}}2}=\frac1i=-i.$$
  5. Find the principal argument

    −i-i−i lies on the negative imaginary axis, so its principal argument is −π2.-\frac\pi2.−2π​.

  6. Match with options

    Therefore the correct option is C (−π2).\boxed{\text{C }\left(-\frac\pi2\right)}.C (−2π​)​.

  7. Compare with stored answer

    Stored correct answer: C

    Our derived answer also gives C. So the stored answer is correct.
