Solution

The correct option is D $(z_{1} - z_{2}) i$
Since, $Z_{1}$ and $Z_{2}$ are conjugated pairs,
let $Z_{1} = a + i b$
and $Z_{2} = a - i b$
So, $Z_{1}_{2} = (a + i b) (a - i b) = a^{2} - b^{2} + 2 a i b$
$_{1} Z_{2} = (a - i b) (a - i b) = a^{2} - b^{2} - 2 a i b$
$Z_{1} - Z_{2} = 2 a i b$
$(Z_{1} - Z_{2}) i = (2 a i b) i = - 2 a b = Purely real$
