Hi,
I have a non symmetric matrix and I try to figure out which option of the eig I should use? Thank you

The eig function does not require any additional options for nonsymmetric matrices. There is an example of this in the documentation for eig:
>> A = gallery('circul',3)
A =
1 2 3
3 1 2
2 3 1
>> [V,D] = eig(A);
>> V\A*V % verify that V diagonalizes A
ans =
6.0000 + 0.0000i 0.0000 - 0.0000i -0.0000 + 0.0000i
-0.0000 - 0.0000i -1.5000 + 0.8660i -0.0000 - 0.0000i
-0.0000 + 0.0000i -0.0000 + 0.0000i -1.5000 - 0.8660i

Hi,
Thank you for the answer. But for this matrix is I am using eig and I try to rebuilted back using the eigenvectors and eigenvalues I get something else than the original matrix. Therefore I think that the right eigenvectors I get using eig are wrong. I tried with svd an that it seems to work. eigenvectors I get using eig are wrong. I tried with svd an that it seems to work. Thank you

How are you trying to rebuild the matrix from the eigendecomposition? Note that since the matrix is not symmetric, it is not true that V^{-1} = V^H. Therefore, to reconstruct the matrix, you should instead try
>> Ar = V*D/V; % Ar = V*D*V^{-1}
which is the proper eigendecomposition. When I try this with the matrix you posted, I get:
>> Ar = V*D/V; % Ar = V*D*V^{-1}
>> norm(a - Ar)
ans =
2.4546e-15
