Correct answer: A

  1. Let z=eiθz = e^{i\theta}z=eiθ since ∣z∣=1|z|=1∣z∣=1.

    Then zˉ=e−iθ.\bar z = e^{-i\theta}.zˉ=e−iθ.

  2. Compute the given expression: zzˉ=eiθe−iθ=e2iθ,zˉz=e−2iθ.\frac{z}{\bar z} = \frac{e^{i\theta}}{e^{-i\theta}} = e^{2i\theta}, \qquad \frac{\bar z}{z} = e^{-2i\theta}.zˉz​=e−iθeiθ​=e2iθ,zzˉ​=e−2iθ.

    So, zzˉ+zˉz=e2iθ+e−2iθ=2cos⁡2θ.\frac{z}{\bar z}+\frac{\bar z}{z} = e^{2i\theta}+e^{-2i\theta} = 2\cos 2\theta.zˉz​+zzˉ​=e2iθ+e−2iθ=2cos2θ.

  3. Apply the condition ∣zzˉ+zˉz∣=1.\left|\frac{z}{\bar z}+\frac{\bar z}{z}\right|=1.​zˉz​+zzˉ​​=1.

    Hence, ∣2cos⁡2θ∣=1|2\cos 2\theta|=1∣2cos2θ∣=1 ∣cos⁡2θ∣=12.|\cos 2\theta|=\frac12.∣cos2θ∣=21​.

  4. Solve cos⁡2θ=±12.\cos 2\theta = \pm \frac12.cos2θ=±21​.

    In [0,2π)[0,2\pi)[0,2π), the values of 2θ2\theta2θ satisfying this are: 2θ=π3, 2π3, 4π3, 5π3, π3+2π, 2π3+2π, 4π3+2π, 5π3+2π2\theta = \frac{\pi}{3},\ \frac{2\pi}{3},\ \frac{4\pi}{3},\ \frac{5\pi}{3},\ \frac{\pi}{3}+2\pi,\ \frac{2\pi}{3}+2\pi,\ \frac{4\pi}{3}+2\pi,\ \frac{5\pi}{3}+2\pi2θ=3π​, 32π​, 34π​, 35π​, 3π​+2π, 32π​+2π, 34π​+2π, 35π​+2π because 2θ2\theta2θ ranges over [0,4π)[0,4\pi)[0,4π) when θ∈[0,2π)\theta\in[0,2\pi)θ∈[0,2π).

    Dividing by 222, we get 8 distinct values of θ\thetaθ: θ=π6, π3, 2π3, 5π6, 7π6, 4π3, 5π3, 11π6.\theta = \frac{\pi}{6},\ \frac{\pi}{3},\ \frac{2\pi}{3},\ \frac{5\pi}{6},\ \frac{7\pi}{6},\ \frac{4\pi}{3},\ \frac{5\pi}{3},\ \frac{11\pi}{6}.θ=6π​, 3π​, 32π​, 65π​, 67π​, 34π​, 35π​, 611π​.

  5. Therefore, the number of complex numbers zzz is 8.8.8.

  6. Checking options:

    • A: 888 ✅
    • B: 101010 ❌
    • C: 444 ❌
    • D: 666 ❌

So the correct option is A.
