The given matrix
A=\left[04+i−4+i0\right]
Now, from options:
From option (A): For Symmetric matrix
AT=A
Now,
A^{\mathrm{T}}=\left[0−4+i4+i0\right] \neq \mathrm{A}\therefore \quad The given matrix is not symmetric
∴ option (A) is wrong.
From option (B): For Skew-symmetric matrix
AT=−A=[0−4+i4+i0]=−A\therefore \quad
Givenmatrixisnotskew−symmetric\therefore \quad
option(B)iswrong.Fromoption(C):ForHermitianmatrixA^T=\bar{A}
,where\bar{A}
isconjugateofmatrixA\bar{A}=\left[
04−i−4−i0\right] \neq \mathrm{A}^T\therefore \quad
option(C)iswrong.Fromoption(D):ForSkew−HermitianmatrixThediagonalelementofaskew−hermitianmatrixarepureimaginaryorzero.\mathrm{A}=\left[

Here,diagonalelementindicatesthatthegivenmatrixisskew−hermitianmatrix.\therefore \quad$ option (D) is correct.
