The correct answer is: 2
Let us assume that z lies on a circle with centre z0 (fixed point) and radius 1 2 units.

⇒    z - z 0 = 1 2

Now, ω = - 1 + 4 z ω + 1 = 4 z

⇒    ω + 1 - 4 z 0 = 4 z - 4 z 0

Now, taking modulus on both sides, we get,

ω + 1 - 4 z 0 = 4 z - z 0 ω + 1 - 4 z 0 = 2

Locus of ω represents the circle having centre - 1 + 4 z 0 and radius 2 units.
