Final answer:

The solution to the equation 3x - 1000 = 0 is x = 333.33 in decimal form. This is a real number, so it doesn't have complex number solutions. Thus, none of the provided complex number options are correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is 3x - 1000 = 0. This is a simple linear equation where we only need to isolate x. The first step is to add 1000 to both sides of the equation so that it becomes 3x = 1000. Then, to solve for x, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 which yields x = 1000 / 3 which simplifies to x = 333.33 (rounded to two decimal places). This is a simple real number solution. It does not have any complex number solutions.

Therefore, none of the provided options A, B, C, or D are correct because those represent complex numbers in the form of polar form and our solution does not involve complex numbers.
