We know,

\left | z_{1}-z_{2} \right |\geq \left | \left | z_{1} \right |-\left | z_{2} \right | \right |

\Rightarrow \left | z-2 \right |\geq \left | \left | z \right |-\left | 2 \right | \right |

\Rightarrow \left | z-2 \right |\geq \left | 5-2 \right |

\Rightarrow \left | z-2 \right |\geq 3

\therefore \left | z-2 \right | has minimum possible value 3

\therefore Option (B)

 

Triangle Law of Inequality in Complex Numbers -

|z_{1}-z_{2}|\geq \left || z_{1} \right |-| z_{2} \right |||

- wherein

|.| denotes modulus of z in complex numbers
