Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(-1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The powers of \(i\) repeat in a cycle of \(4\): \(i^{1} = i\), \(i^{2} = -1\), \(i^{3} = -i\), \(i^{4} = 1\). For the numerator, we have \(i^{1004} + i^{1006} + i^{1008} + i^{1010} + i^{1012}\). Since \(1004, 1008, 1012\) are multiples of \(4\),…
