Let $T > 0$ be a real number and $n \in \mathbb{N}^*$ be a natural integer. Let $A : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathscr{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ be a continuous application on $\mathbb{R}$ and $T$-periodic. We consider the differential system $$X'(t) = A(t) X(t) \tag{2}$$ Let $B \in \mathscr{M}_n(\mathbb{C})$ be the matrix from the normal form $M(t) = Q(t)\exp(tB)$. Suppose that there exists $m \in \mathbb{N}^*$ such that (2) has a non-zero $mT$-periodic solution. Show that $\exp(TB)$ has an eigenvalue that is an $m$-th root of unity.
