Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Nilpotent

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} A & =\left[\begin{array}{cc} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{array}\right] \\ A^2 & =\left[\begin{array}{cc} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} & -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}…
