Solution

The correct option is B zk+1=z1(cos2πk/n+isin2πk/n),k=1,2,3,....,(n1)
The points will be nth roots of unity.
Hence the points will be given by zn=1
zn=ei2kπ
Or
z=ei2kπn
=cos(2kπn)+isin(2kπn) where K=1,2,3...
Now these are point for a polygon of n sides with unit length. In case the length is not one unit length,
zk+1=z1(cos(2kπn)+isin(2kπn))
