Correct answer: C

  1. Since zzz has unit modulus and argument θ\thetaθ, we can write z=cos⁡θ+isin⁡θ=eiθ.z=\cos\theta+i\sin\theta=e^{i\theta}.z=cosθ+isinθ=eiθ. Hence, z‾=e−iθ.\overline z=e^{-i\theta}.z=e−iθ.

  2. Now evaluate 1+z1+z‾=1+eiθ1+e−iθ.\frac{1+z}{1+\overline z}=\frac{1+e^{i\theta}}{1+e^{-i\theta}}.1+z1+z​=1+e−iθ1+eiθ​.

  3. Use the standard factorization: 1+eiθ=eiθ/2(e−iθ/2+eiθ/2)=2cos⁡θ2 eiθ/2,1+e^{i\theta}=e^{i\theta/2}\left(e^{-i\theta/2}+e^{i\theta/2}\right)=2\cos\frac{\theta}{2}\,e^{i\theta/2},1+eiθ=eiθ/2(e−iθ/2+eiθ/2)=2cos2θ​eiθ/2, 1+e−iθ=e−iθ/2(eiθ/2+e−iθ/2)=2cos⁡θ2 e−iθ/2.1+e^{-i\theta}=e^{-i\theta/2}\left(e^{i\theta/2}+e^{-i\theta/2}\right)=2\cos\frac{\theta}{2}\,e^{-i\theta/2}.1+e−iθ=e−iθ/2(eiθ/2+e−iθ/2)=2cos2θ​e−iθ/2.

  4. Therefore, \frac{1+z}{1+\overline z}= rac{2\cos(\theta/2)e^{i\theta/2}}{2\cos(\theta/2)e^{-i\theta/2}}=e^{i\theta}, provided 1+z‾≠01+\overline z\neq 01+z=0 (i.e. z≠−1z\neq -1z=−1).

  5. Hence, arg⁡(1+z1+z‾)=arg⁡(eiθ)=θ.\arg\left(\frac{1+z}{1+\overline z}\right)=\arg(e^{i\theta})=\theta.arg(1+z1+z​)=arg(eiθ)=θ.

So the correct option is: C: θ\boxed{\text{C: }\theta}C: θ​
