A complex load (in $\Omega$ ) is represented as $\Gamma_L=0.5 \angle 30^{\circ}$ on the Smith chart. A co-axial cable with a characteristic impedance of $50 \Omega$ is connected to the load. The new input impedance of the load now moves to a diametrically opposite point on the same $\Gamma$ circle on the Smith chart.

Which option is the nearest input impedance of the cable connected load (in $\Omega$ )?

A

$20.7-j 5.1$

B

$17.7-j 11.8$

C

$97.5-j 65.0$

D

$97.5+j 65.0$
