A mapping is described as conformal at a point when it preserves

  • A.the length of every arc through the point
  • B.the area of every region containing the point
  • C.the direction of every curve through the point
  • D.the angle between two curves through the point, in magnitude and sense

Answer: D

An analytic function with \( f'(z) \neq 0 \) rotates every direction through the point by \( \arg f'(z) \) and scales it by \( |f'(z)| \), so angles between curves survive unchanged. Lengths and areas are scaled rather than preserved, and directions are all rotated together, which is precisely why the angle between them is kept
