Correct answer: D

  1. Let z=reiα,w=seiβz = r e^{i\alpha}, \quad w = s e^{i\beta}z=reiα,w=seiβ where r=∣z∣r = |z|r=∣z∣, s=∣w∣s = |w|s=∣w∣, α=arg⁡(z)\alpha = \arg(z)α=arg(z), and β=arg⁡(w)\beta = \arg(w)β=arg(w).

  2. Given: ∣zw∣=1|zw| = 1∣zw∣=1 But ∣zw∣=∣z∣ ∣w∣=rs|zw| = |z|\,|w| = rs∣zw∣=∣z∣∣w∣=rs so rs=1.rs = 1.rs=1.

  3. Also given: arg⁡(z)−arg⁡(w)=π2\arg(z) - \arg(w) = \frac{\pi}{2}arg(z)−arg(w)=2π​ i.e. α−β=π2.\alpha - \beta = \frac{\pi}{2}.α−β=2π​.

  4. Now compute zw‾z\overline wzw:

    = rs\, e^{i(\alpha-\beta)}.$$ Using $rs=1$ and $\alpha-\beta=\frac{\pi}{2}$, $$z\overline w = e^{i\pi/2} = i.$$
  5. Next compute z‾w\overline z wzw:

    = rs\, e^{i(\beta-\alpha)}.$$ Again using $rs=1$ and $\beta-\alpha=-\frac{\pi}{2}$, $$\overline z w = e^{-i\pi/2} = -i.$$
  6. Now check the options:

    • A: zw‾=1−i2z\overline w = \dfrac{1-i}{\sqrt2}zw=2​1−i​ → false, since zw‾=iz\overline w = izw=i
    • B: z‾w=i\overline z w = izw=i → false, since z‾w=−i\overline z w = -izw=−i
    • C: zw‾=−1+i2z\overline w = \dfrac{-1+i}{\sqrt2}zw=2​−1+i​ → false, since zw‾=iz\overline w = izw=i
    • D: z‾w=−i\overline z w = -izw=−i → true

Therefore, the correct option is D.
