(B) Given the matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} \lambda & i \\ i & -\lambda \end{bmatrix}$.For the inverse $A^{-1}$ to not exist,the determinant of the matrix must be zero,i.e.,$|A| = 0$.Calculating the determinant:$|A| = (\lambda)(-\lambda) - (i)(i) = -\lambda^2 - i^2$.Since $i = \sqrt{-1}$,we have $i^2 = -1$.Substituting this into the determinant equation:$|A| = -\lambda^2 - (-1) = -\lambda^2 + 1$.Setting the determinant to zero:$-\lambda^2 + 1 = 0 \Rightarrow \lambda^2 = 1$.Therefore,$\lambda = \pm 1$.
