Correct answer: C

Let z=x+iyz=x+iyz=x+iy, where x,y∈Rx,y\in\mathbb{R}x,y∈R.

We convert each set into its geometric form in the Argand plane.

1. Interpret S1S_1S1​

Given S1={z∈C:∣z−1∣≤2}.S_1=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z-1|\le \sqrt2\}.S1​={z∈C:∣z−1∣≤2​}.

Now, ∣z−1∣=∣x+iy−1∣=∣(x−1)+iy∣,|z-1|=|x+iy-1|=|(x-1)+iy|,∣z−1∣=∣x+iy−1∣=∣(x−1)+iy∣, so (x−1)2+y2≤2.(x-1)^2+y^2\le 2.(x−1)2+y2≤2.

Thus S1S_1S1​ is the closed disk centered at (1,0)(1,0)(1,0) with radius 2\sqrt22​.


2. Interpret S2S_2S2​

Given S2={z∈C:Re⁡((1−i)z)≥1}.S_2=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\operatorname{Re}((1-i)z)\ge 1\}.S2​={z∈C:Re((1−i)z)≥1}.

Compute: (1−i)z=(1−i)(x+iy)=x+iy−ix−i2y=(x+y)+i(y−x).(1-i)z=(1-i)(x+iy)=x+iy-ix-i^2y=(x+y)+i(y-x).(1−i)z=(1−i)(x+iy)=x+iy−ix−i2y=(x+y)+i(y−x).

Hence, Re⁡((1−i)z)=x+y.\operatorname{Re}((1-i)z)=x+y.Re((1−i)z)=x+y.

So x+y≥1.x+y\ge 1.x+y≥1.

Thus S2S_2S2​ is the half-plane on or above the line x+y=1.x+y=1.x+y=1.


3. Interpret S3S_3S3​

Given S3={z∈C:Im⁡(z)≤1}.S_3=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:\operatorname{Im}(z)\le 1\}.S3​={z∈C:Im(z)≤1}.

Since Im⁡(z)=y\operatorname{Im}(z)=yIm(z)=y, this is simply y≤1.y\le 1.y≤1.

So S3S_3S3​ is the half-plane on or below the line y=1y=1y=1.


4. Find the intersection geometrically

We need points satisfying all three: (x−1)2+y2≤2,x+y≥1,y≤1.(x-1)^2+y^2\le 2, \qquad x+y\ge 1, \qquad y\le 1.(x−1)2+y2≤2,x+y≥1,y≤1.

This is the intersection of a closed disk with two closed half-planes. Such an intersection, if nonempty and containing a region/arc/segment, will have infinitely many points.

So let us check whether it is nonempty and not just a finite set.

Take the point z=1(x=1,y=0).z=1 \quad (x=1,y=0).z=1(x=1,y=0).

Check:

  1. For S1S_1S1​: ∣1−1∣=0≤2.|1-1|=0\le \sqrt2.∣1−1∣=0≤2​.
  2. For S2S_2S2​: x+y=1+0=1≥1.x+y=1+0=1\ge 1.x+y=1+0=1≥1.
  3. For S3S_3S3​: y=0≤1.y=0\le 1.y=0≤1.

So z=1z=1z=1 belongs to the intersection.

Now check nearby points on the line y=0y=0y=0 with x≥1x\ge 1x≥1.

Let z=xz=xz=x with y=0y=0y=0. Then conditions become:

  • From S1S_1S1​: (x−1)2≤2⇒1−2≤x≤1+2.(x-1)^2\le 2 \quad \Rightarrow \quad 1-\sqrt2\le x\le 1+\sqrt2.(x−1)2≤2⇒1−2​≤x≤1+2​.
  • From S2S_2S2​: x+0≥1⇒x≥1.x+0\ge 1 \Rightarrow x\ge 1.x+0≥1⇒x≥1.
  • From S3S_3S3​: 0≤1,0\le 1,0≤1, which is always true.

Hence every real number xxx in the interval 1≤x≤1+21\le x\le 1+\sqrt21≤x≤1+2​ corresponds to a point in S1∩S2∩S3S_1\cap S_2\cap S_3S1​∩S2​∩S3​.

This is an entire line segment, so the intersection contains infinitely many elements.


5. Evaluate options

  • A: has exactly three elements — false
  • B: is a singleton — false
  • C: has infinitely many elements — true
  • D: has exactly two elements — false

Therefore, the correct option is C.\boxed{\text{C}}.C​.
