As learnt in concept

Definition of Argument/Amplitude of z in Complex Numbers -

\theta =tan^{-1}|\frac{y}{x}|, z\neq 0

\boldsymbol{\theta,\pi-\theta,-\pi+\theta,-\theta} are Principal Argument if z lies in first, second, third or fourth quadrant respectively.

- wherein

 

 In (1+i), tan\theta=1, thus \theta=\frac{\pi}{4}

\frac{\pi}{4}

This is correct option

Option 2)

\frac{\pi}{2}

This incorrect option

Option 3)

\frac{3\pi}{4}

This incorrect option

Option 4)
