Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\sqrt{3}+1\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have the identity, \[ \begin{aligned}|z|=\left|z+\frac{2}{z}-\frac{2}{z}\right| \leq\left|z+\frac{2}{z}\right|+\left|\frac{2}{z}\right| \\ \Rightarrow \quad|z| \leq 2+\frac{2}{|z|} \end{aligned} \] \(\Rightarrow \quad|z|^{2} \leq 2|z|+2\)…
