The square root of a negative number.  Because anything times itself can't give you a negative answer.  Because a negative times a negative will equal a positive number.

Answer: Option 'c' is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Imaginary numbers are those numbers which can be shown in the Argand plane in which x - axis represents the real numbers and y-axis represents the imaginary numbers and basically it is the square root of negative numbers.

For example : Square root of -1 = √-1 = i (say  iota)

and i² = -1 and i⁴ = 1

Hence, option 'c' is correct.
