First of all... do you know what the conjugate is?

A conjugate is just a change in the second term, so D.

change of signs*

sleepyjess · Answer

The complex conjugate of a + bi  is a – bi, and similarly the complex conjugate of a – bi  is a + bi. This consists of changing the sign of the imaginary part of a complex number. The real part is left unchanged.
