Hint: in this question we have to find the modulus of one vertices of triangle. In order to find this we have to use formula of area of triangle and equate this area with given area of triangle. First write each vertex as combination of real and imaginary number.
Formula Used:Area of triangle is given by
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a_1}}&{{b_1}}&1\\{{a_2}}&{{b_2}}&1\\{{a_3}}&{{b_3}}&1\end{array}} \right|\]
Where
A is area of triangle
\[{a_i}\] is a real part of vertices
\[{b_i}\] is a imaginary part of vertices
Complete step by step solution:Given: Three vertices of triangle and area of triangle equal to \[18\]
Vertices of triangle is given as\[z\], \[z + iz\]and \[iz\]
We know that
\[z = x + iy\]
\[iz = ix - y = - y + ix\] (Because\[{i^2} = - 1\])
\[z + iz = (x + iy) + ( - y + ix)\]
\[z + iz = (x - y) + i(x + y)\]
Now area of triangle is given by
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a_1}}&{{b_1}}&1\\{{a_2}}&{{b_2}}&1\\{{a_3}}&{{b_3}}&1\end{array}} \right|\]
Where
A is area of triangle
\[{a_i}\] is a real part of vertices
\[{b_i}\] is a imaginary part of vertices
Expand determinant to get area of triangle
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}({a_1}({b_2} - {b_3}) - {a_2}({b_1} - {b_3}) + {a_3}({b_1} - {b_2}))\]
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a_1}}&{{b_1}}&1\\{{a_2}}&{{b_2}}&1\\{{a_3}}&{{b_3}}&1\end{array}} \right|\]
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}x&y&1\\{ - y}&x&1\\{(x - y)}&{(x + y)}&1\end{array}} \right|\]
Expand the determinant
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}(x(x - x - y) - y( - y - x + y) + (x - y)(y - x))\]
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}( - xy + xy + ( - yx - {y^2} - {x^2} + xy))\]
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}({x^2} + {y^2})\]
We know that
\[\left| z \right| = \sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}} \]
\[{\left| z \right|^2} = {x^2} + {y^2}\]
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}{\left| z \right|^2}\]
Area of triangle is given in question which is equal to\[18\]
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}{\left| z \right|^2} = 18\]
\[{\left| z \right|^2} = 36\]
\[\left| z \right| = 6\]
Option ‘A’ is correct
Note: We have to remember that complex number is a number which is a combination of real and imaginary number. S o in combination number question we have to represent number as a combination of real and its imaginary part.
Imaginary part is known as iota. Square of iota is equal to negative one.

\[z + iz = (x + iy) + ( - y + ix)\]
\[z + iz = (x - y) + i(x + y)\]
Now area of triangle is given by
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}\left| {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{a_1}}&{{b_1}}&1\\{{a_2}}&{{b_2}}&1\\{{a_3}}&{{b_3}}&1\end{array}} \right|\]

Expand the determinant
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}(x(x - x - y) - y( - y - x + y) + (x - y)(y - x))\]
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}( - xy + xy + ( - yx - {y^2} - {x^2} + xy))\]
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}({x^2} + {y^2})\]
We know that
\[\left| z \right| = \sqrt {{x^2} + {y^2}} \]
\[{\left| z \right|^2} = {x^2} + {y^2}\]
\[A = \dfrac{1}{2}{\left| z \right|^2}\]
