The intrinsic impedance of copper at high frequencies is Correct Answer Complex with a inductive component

The intrinsic impedance is given by √(jwµ√ϭ + jw€). Since copper is a good conductor, ϭ << jw€, thus the intrinsic impedance will have +j component only. This refers to complex with an inductive component.
