Need help in complex numbers

Hello, I am not able to solve this question so can anyone please help me. The question as it is -
Let z1 and z2 be the roots of the equation z^2 + pz + q = 0, where p and q may be complex number. Let A and B represent z1 and z2 in the complex plane. If angle AOB=a not equal to 0 and OA=OB,where O is the origin then p^2 =

1. 4qcos^2 (a/2)
2. 2qcos^2(a)
3. qcos^2 (a/4)
