Mixing a holomorphic term with cos squared of the modulus breaks holomorphy almost everywhere check a non real point directly

Let f:CCf:\mathbb{C}\to\mathbb{C} be defined by f(z)=sin2z+cos2f(z)=\sin^{2}z+\cos^{2}|z|. Which of the following statements are true?

  1. A.f is a real valued function.
  2. B.f(z) = 1 for all zCz\in\mathbb{C}.
  3. C.f is not an entire function.
  4. D.f has finitely many zeros on the imaginary axis.

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.
