Solution

Given, $z_1, z_2, z_3, \ldots, z_n$ are roots of equation $\begin{aligned} (z+1)^n & =z^n \Rightarrow\left(\frac{z+1}{z}\right)=(1)^{1 / n} \\ \frac{z+1}{z} & =\left(\cos \frac{2 k \pi}{n}+i \sin \frac{2 k \pi}{n}\right) \\ z+1 & =Z\left(\cos \frac{2 k \pi}{n}+i \sin \frac{2 k \pi}{n}\right) \\ z & =\frac{1}{\cos \frac{2 k \pi}{n}+i \sin \frac{2 k \pi}{n}-1} \\ z & =\frac{1}{2}\left(1-i \cot \frac{k \pi}{n}\right) \\ \operatorname{Re} z & =\frac{1}{2}, \operatorname{Im}(z)=\left(\frac{-1}{2} \cot \frac{k \pi}{n}\right) \\ 2 \operatorname{Re}(z i) & =1, \cot { }^{-1}[2|\operatorname{Im} z i|]=\frac{k \pi}{n} \\ \sum_{i=1}^v \frac{\cot }{-1}(2(\operatorname{Im} z i)-1 & 2 \operatorname{Re}(z i) \\ = & \frac{\pi}{n}(1+2+3+\ldots . . n)-n=\pi \frac{(n)(n+1)}{2(n)}-n \\ = & \pi \frac{(n+1)}{2}-n=\frac{1}{2}[n \pi+\pi-2 n]=\frac{1}{2}[\pi-(\pi-2) n] \end{aligned}$

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
