The correct answer is: i
Let $z=\cos \theta+i \sin \theta$
Now, on rotating through an angle $\frac{\pi}{2}, z$ becomes
$\mathrm{Z}=\cos \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+\theta\right)+\mathrm{i} \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{2}+\theta\right)$
$=-\sin \theta+\mathrm{i} \cos \theta=\mathrm{i}^{2} \sin \theta+\mathrm{i} \cos \theta$
$=\mathrm{i}(\cos \theta+\mathrm{i} \sin \theta)=\mathrm{i} \mathrm{z}$
