The correct answer is: Lies in the interval (1, 2)
z2  i.e.,  z-02

 The distance of 'z' from origin is greater than two.
We have to find minimum of z+12

z+12=z--12 = distance of z from -12, 0.

On the argand plane,



z lies in the dotted regions I, II, III, IV.

   The minimum distance is from the point B=2-12 = 3 2

321, 2
