Answer:
Correct Answer: 12.(d)
Solution:
Since, $(\frac{1+i}{1-i})^{n}=1 \Rightarrow (\frac{1+i}{1-i} \times \frac{1+i}{1-i})^{n}=1$
$ \begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & & i^{n} & =1 \\ \Rightarrow & & i^{n} & =1 \text{ when } n \equiv 0 \pmod{4} \end{aligned} $
The smallest positive integer $n$ for which $i^{n}=1$ is $4$ .
$ \therefore \quad n=4 $
