Given "A= \\{1,-1,i,-i\\}" and binary operation ia multiplication.
Identity of given set is 1 under binary operation multiplication because "a \\times 1 = 1\\times a = a \\ \\forall \\ a\\in A".
Inverse of "a\\in A" is "b" if "b \\in A" and "a\\times b = b \\times a = 1".
So, Inverse of "i" is "-i" because "i \\times (-i) = (-i) \\times i = -i^2 = 1" and also "-i \\in A".
So, Answer is option a) "-i".
