Correct answer
B4

Step-by-step explanation

Given,

z¯=iz2+Re(z¯)

Now, let z=x+iy, so z¯=x-iy

Now putting the value in, z¯=iz2+Re(z¯) we get,

z¯=iz2+Re(z¯)

x-iy=ix2-y2+2ixy+x

x-iy=ix2-y2+x-2xy

Now comparing real part we get,

x=-2xyx(2y+1)=0

x=0,y=-12 .....1

And imaginary part we get,

-y=x2-y2+x .......2

Now taking Case (I) when x=0 in equation 2 we get,

-y=-y2

y2-y=0y=0,1

So,  z=0, i

Now taking Case (II) when y=-12 in equation 2 we get,

12=x2-14+x

x2+x-34=0

4x+4x-3=0

(2x-1)(2x+3)=0

x=12,-32

So, z=12-12i,-32-12i

Now finding, |z|2=0+1+12+52=4
