ι 1 6 1 = c i s 3 2 π ⇒ Conjugate Of i 1 6 1 = c i s 3 2 − π . So the answer is N o n e O f T h e O p t i o n s .
Note that i 1 6 1 is a multivalued function, so you should also check the other values.

Conjugate of ι 1 6 1 = c i s ( − 1 6 k π − 3 2 π ) .
Note : k = 0, 1, 2, . . . . . . , 15.
Oh!! Gosh!! I forgot the conjugate!!, perhaps it's because that it's a level 5 prob.
Conjugate-conjure me.Argh!missed the conjugate.

This should have been a troll question.
Same mistake. I forgot to calculate the conjugate. :(
Missed the conjugate term, ended up marking at wrong option
Hm... Time to research the definition of conjugate!
forgot to take conjugate !!!...ufff

The principal amplitude (or proper amplitude) of i is (Pi/2)
So
i = cis (Pi/2)
Then
i^(1/16) = cis (Pi/32 + k Pi/8) , k = 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , ......... , 15
The conjugate of cic (x) = cis (2 Pi - x)
Then
The conjugate of i^(1/16) = cis (2 Pi - Pi/32 - k Pi/8) , k = 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , ......... , 15
= cis (Pi/32)(63 - 4 k) , k = 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 , ......... , 15
This does not equal any of the given values for any of the 16 values of k
