Solution

The correct option is B $c o s (- \frac{π}{4}) + i s i n (- \frac{π}{4}), c o s (\frac{3 π}{4}) + i s i n (\frac{3 π}{4})$
Let $x = \sqrt{- 1} = (- 1)^{1 / 2}$
$x = {[c o s (\frac{- π}{2}) + i s i n (- \frac{π}{2})]}^{1 / 2}$
$x = {[c o s (2 n π - \frac{- π}{2}) + i s i n (2 n π - \frac{π}{2})]}^{1 / 2}, n = 0, 1$
$x = {[c o s (4 n - 1) \frac{π}{2} + i s i n (4 n - 1) \frac{π}{2}]}^{1 / 2}, n = 0, 1$
$x = c o s (4 n - 1) \frac{π}{4} + i s i n (4 n - 1) \frac{π}{4}, n = 0, 1$
$x = c o s (- \frac{π}{4}) + i s i n (- \frac{π}{4}), c o s (\frac{3 π}{4}) + i s i n (\frac{3 π}{4})$
