The correct answer is: 213

Given, the roots of z-43=8i are a-2i, b+i and c+i.

Let z=x+iy, then x+iy-43=8i

x-4+iy3=8i

x-43+iy3+3x-42iy+3x-4iy2=8i

Using i2=-1, i3=-i,

x-43-iy3+3x-42iy-3x-4y2=8i

On comparing the real and imaginary parts on both sides of the equation, we get

x-43-3x-4y2=0   ...i and

 -y3+3x-42y=8

y-y2+3x-42=8   ...ii

From the equation i,

x-43-3x-4y2=0

x-4x-42-3y2=0

x-4=0 or x-42-3y2=0

x=4 or x-42=3y2   ...iii

On putting, these values in the equation ii, we get

y-y2+34-42=8 or y-y2+33y2=8

-y3=8 or y-y2+9y2=8

y=-2 or 8y3=8, y=1.

Thus, for x=4, y=-2.

Now, for y=1, from equation iii,

x-42=3

x-4=±3

x=4±3.

 Hence, the roots of the given equation are 4-2i, 4±3+i.

And, the given roots are a-2i, b+i and c+i.

On comparing, we get abc=44+34-3

abc=416-3

abc=213.
