Correct answer: A
-
Let This represents all complex numbers whose distance from the point on the Argand plane is at most .
-
We need to find the maximum value of which is the distance of from the point .
-
So the problem is geometric:
- Center of the given disk:
- Radius of the disk:
- Point from which distance is measured:
-
The distance between the center and the point is
-
The maximum distance from to any point in the disk centered at with radius is This follows from the triangle inequality, and equality is attained when lies on the boundary in the direction away from .
-
Algebraically, using triangle inequality: Hence,
-
Therefore, the correct option is:
