Correct answer: A

  1. Let ∣z+4∣≤3.|z+4|\le 3.∣z+4∣≤3. This represents all complex numbers zzz whose distance from the point −4-4−4 on the Argand plane is at most 333.

  2. We need to find the maximum value of ∣z+1∣,|z+1|,∣z+1∣, which is the distance of zzz from the point −1-1−1.

  3. So the problem is geometric:

    • Center of the given disk: −4-4−4
    • Radius of the disk: 333
    • Point from which distance is measured: −1-1−1
  4. The distance between the center −4-4−4 and the point −1-1−1 is ∣−4−(−1)∣=∣−3∣=3.|-4-(-1)|=|-3|=3.∣−4−(−1)∣=∣−3∣=3.

  5. The maximum distance from −1-1−1 to any point in the disk centered at −4-4−4 with radius 333 is 3+3=6.3+3=6.3+3=6. This follows from the triangle inequality, and equality is attained when zzz lies on the boundary in the direction away from −1-1−1.

  6. Algebraically, using triangle inequality: ∣z+1∣=∣(z+4)−3∣≤∣z+4∣+3≤3+3=6.|z+1|=|(z+4)-3|\le |z+4|+3\le 3+3=6.∣z+1∣=∣(z+4)−3∣≤∣z+4∣+3≤3+3=6. Hence, ∣z+1∣max⁡=6.|z+1|_{\max}=6.∣z+1∣max​=6.

  7. Therefore, the correct option is: A\boxed{A}A​
