The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Formula / Definition}
\[ \left(\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right)^2 + 2\cos\theta\left(\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right) + 1 = 0 \]
Step 2: Calculation / Simplification}
\(\frac{z_1}{z_2} = -\cos\theta \pm i\sin\theta\)
\(\left|\frac{z_1}{z_2}\right| = \sqrt{\cos^2\theta + \sin^2\theta} = 1 \Rightarrow |z_1| = |z_2|\)
Two sides from origin are equal \(\Rightarrow\) isosceles.
Step 3: Final Answer
\[ \text{isosceles} \]
