Correct answer
D. A
Step-by-step solution
The determinant of matrix A is given by |A| = ( - 0) - (- )( - 0) + 0 |A| = ^2 + ^2 = 1 We know the property of adjoint of a matrix: A( adj ,A) = |A|I Substituting |A| = 1 , we get A( adj ,A) = I adj ,A = A⁻¹ It is given that B = adj ,A , so B = A⁻¹ Taking the inverse on both sides, we obtain B⁻¹ = (A⁻¹)⁻¹ = A Answer: A
