Correct answer
B8
Step-by-step explanation
$\begin{aligned}
& |z|=1 \\
& \left|\frac{z}{\bar{z}}+\frac{\bar{z}}{z}\right|=1 \\
& \Rightarrow\left|z^2+(\bar{z})^2\right|=1
\end{aligned}$
Let
$\begin{aligned}
& \Rightarrow\left|(x+i y)^2+(x-i y)^2\right|=1 \\
& \Rightarrow\left|2 x^2-2 y^2\right|=1 \\
& \Rightarrow\left|x^2-y^2\right|=\frac{1}{2} \\
& \Rightarrow x^2-y^2=\frac{ \pm 1}{2} \\
& \text { and } x^2+y^2=1
\end{aligned}$
Case I:
Case II:
