Multiply by one minus i to fix the real part

For z = x + iy , let f(z) = u(x, y) + iv(x, y) be an entire function such that u(x, y) + v(x, y) = 1. Which of the following statements are FALSE?

  1. A.f is a constant function.
  2. B.If , then f(0) + f(1) = 1.
  3. C. is connected.
  4. D.If , then f(i) + f(1) = 2.

You have the answer. Trap Analysis is why the other three were written.

Not a worked solution repeated four times — the specific reasoning error each wrong option was built to reward.
