Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{A. True}}\)

Steps

Step 1 :The product of a complex number and its conjugate is a real number. The conjugate of a complex number is obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary part. When a complex number is multiplied by its conjugate, the result is a real number. This is because the product of the imaginary parts gives a negative square, which when added to the square of the real part, results in a real number. Therefore, the statement is true.

Step 2 :Final Answer: \(\boxed{\text{A. True}}\)
