Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) circle with centre \((-1,0)\) and radius 1 unit.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned}
& |\mathrm{z}+1|=1 \\
& \Rightarrow|x+\mathrm{i} y+1|=1 \\
& \Rightarrow(x+1)^2+y^2=(1)^2 \\
& \Rightarrow(x+1)^2+y^2=1
\end{aligned}\)
This is an equation of circle with centre \((-1,0)\) and radius 1 .
