Which of these sets is open?

Choose one option.

Show answer
  • A. \(\{z:|z|<1\}\)

Explanation

Only \(|z|<1\) is open: every point has a small disk inside the set. In the others, some (boundary) point does not.

Review the concept: Topology of the complex plane

The structure that open disks \(D\) of center \(z_0\) and radius \(r\) give to \(\mathbb{C}\); with them one defines when a set of points \(z\) is open, closed, bounded or connected.

\[D(z_0,r)=\{z\in\mathbb{C}:|z-z_0|
