It is 3. That's the correct answer
(3 + 2i)(5 + i)
15 + 3i + 10i + 2i^2
15 + 13i - 2
13 + 13i
The cotangent function is defined as the ratio between cosine and sine of a given angle, i.e.

Since you can't have zero at the denominator, the cotangent function is not defined when the sine is zero.
Let's look at your option:
, so the cotangent is defined here
, so the cotangent is not defined here
, so the cotangent is defined here
, so the cotangent is defined here
(8)(-4.5) is not equivalent because 8 times -4.5 results in negative value
