Correct option is C

Let f be a holomorphic function on the disc {zC:z<2}. Assume that the only zero of f in the closed unit disc {zC:z1} is a simple zero at the origin. Let γ be the positively oriented circle {zC:z=1}.Since f has a simple zero at z=0, we can write f(z)=zg(z) where g(z) is holomorphic and g(0)0.Then f(z)=g(z)+zg(z).At z=0, we have f(0)=g(0)+0g(0)=g(0).Now consider the integral γdzf(z).We have 1f(z)=1zg(z).We can use the Residue Theorem to evaluate the integral. The residue of 1f(z) at z=0 is given by Res(1f(z),0)=limz0(z0)1f(z)=limz0z1zg(z)=limz01g(z)=1g(0).Since f(0)=g(0), we have Res(1f(z),0)=1f(0).By the Residue Theorem, γdzf(z)=2πiRes(1f(z),0)=2πi1f(0)=2πif(0).Thus, the integral γdzf(z) equals 2πif(0).Final Answer: The final answer is C.\text{Let } f \text{ be a holomorphic function on the disc } \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z| < 2\}. \\[10pt]\text{ Assume that the only zero of } f \text{ in the closed unit disc } \{z \in \mathbb{C}: |z| \leq 1\}\\[10pt] \text{ is a simple zero at the origin.
