Correct answer: B

  1. Let z=r(cos⁡α+isin⁡α),w=r(cos⁡β+isin⁡β)z = r(\cos \alpha + i\sin \alpha), \qquad w = r(\cos \beta + i\sin \beta)z=r(cosα+isinα),w=r(cosβ+isinβ) since ∣z∣=∣w∣=r|z|=|w|=r∣z∣=∣w∣=r and both are nonzero, so r>0r>0r>0.

  2. We are given Arg⁡z+Arg⁡w=π\operatorname{Arg} z + \operatorname{Arg} w = \piArgz+Argw=π which means α+β=π.\alpha + \beta = \pi.α+β=π. Hence, α=π−β.\alpha = \pi - \beta.α=π−β.

  3. Substitute into zzz: z=r(cos⁡(π−β)+isin⁡(π−β)).z = r\big(\cos(\pi-\beta)+i\sin(\pi-\beta)\big).z=r(cos(π−β)+isin(π−β)). Using identities, cos⁡(π−β)=−cos⁡β,sin⁡(π−β)=sin⁡β.\cos(\pi-\beta)=-\cos\beta, \qquad \sin(\pi-\beta)=\sin\beta.cos(π−β)=−cosβ,sin(π−β)=sinβ. So, z=r(−cos⁡β+isin⁡β).z = r(-\cos\beta+i\sin\beta).z=r(−cosβ+isinβ).

  4. Now find w‾\overline ww: w=r(cos⁡β+isin⁡β)w = r(\cos\beta+i\sin\beta)w=r(cosβ+isinβ) so w‾=r(cos⁡β−isin⁡β).\overline w = r(\cos\beta-i\sin\beta).w=r(cosβ−isinβ). Therefore, −w‾=r(−cos⁡β+isin⁡β).-\overline w = r(-\cos\beta+i\sin\beta).−w=r(−cosβ+isinβ).

  5. Comparing with the expression for zzz, z=−w‾.z=-\overline w.z=−w.

  6. Hence the correct option is: B\boxed{\text{B}}B​
