Solution

The correct option is C |a|2>b
Adding and subtracting a¯¯¯a on both sides, the given relation becomes (z+a)(¯¯¯z+¯¯¯a)+b=a¯¯¯a
(z+a)(¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯z+a)=|a|2b
|z+a|2=|a|2b
The above equation represents a circle centred at a provided |a|2b>0 (i.e., a2>b) as its radius is |a|2b.
Note: If |a|2=b then it will be a point circle as its radius will be zero.
