The correct answer is: circle with centre $(-1,0)$ and radius 1
Let $\mathrm{z}=\mathrm{x}+$ iy and $|\mathrm{z}+1|=1$
$$
\begin{aligned}
& \therefore|(\mathrm{x}+1)+\mathrm{iy}|=1 \\
& \therefore \sqrt{(\mathrm{x}+1)^2+\mathrm{y}^2}=1 \Rightarrow(\mathrm{x}+1)^2+\mathrm{y}^2=1
\end{aligned}
$$
This is an equation of a circle with centre $(-1,0)$ and radius 1 .
