  1. A \(2\)
  2. B \(0\)
  3. C \(-1\)
  4. D \(-2\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(z=i^{1 / 4} \Rightarrow z^4=i=e^{i \pi / 2}\) and its roots are \(e^{i\left(\frac{\pi}{8}\right)}, e^{i\left(\frac{5 \pi}{8}\right)}, e^{i\left(\frac{9 \pi}{8}\right)}\) and \(e^{i\left(\frac{13 \pi}{8}\right)}\) and there is no pair of conjugate roots. So, sum of products…
