Step-by-Step Solution

We are given that $A^2 = A$. We need to find the value of $(I+A)^2 - 3A$.

First, expand $(I+A)^2$:

$(I+A)^2 = (I+A)(I+A) = I^2 + IA + AI + A^2 = I + A + A + A^2 = I + 2A + A^2$

Since $A^2 = A$, we can substitute this into the expression:

$(I+A)^2 = I + 2A + A = I + 3A$

Now, substitute this back into the original expression:

$(I+A)^2 - 3A = (I + 3A) - 3A = I + 3A - 3A = I$

Therefore, $(I+A)^2 - 3A = I$.

Correct Answer: I
