= Solution

For a <unitary matrix>, $A^\dagger=A^{-1}$, so both defining products for a <normal matrix> are $I$. The matrix is invertible, hence no <eigenvalue> is zero. If $Ax=\lambda x$, then $A^{-1}x=\lambda^{-1}x$, while part (a)(iii) gives $A^\dagger x=\overline\lambda x$. Therefore $\overline\lambda=\lambda^{-1}$, and
$$
\boxed{|\lambda|=1.}
$$
Thus \b[all eigenvalues have unit modulus].
