The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

$z_0 = \omega$ or $\omega^2$ (where $\omega$ is a non-real cube root of unity)
$z = 3 + 6i(\omega)^{81} - 3i(\omega)^{93}$
z = 3 + 3i
$\Rightarrow \; \arg \; z = \frac{\pi}{4}$

Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

Complex Number: Any number that is formed as a+ib is called a complex number. For example: 9+3i,7+8i are complex numbers. Here i = -1. With this we can say that i² = 1. So, for every equation which does not have a real solution we can use i = -1.

Quadratic equation: A polynomial that has two roots or is of the degree 2 is called a quadratic equation. The general form of a quadratic equation is y=ax²+bx+c. Here a≠0, b and c are the real numbers.
