Solution

The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion
The input impedance of common emitter configuration =ΔVBEΔiB for a constant VCE
where VBE is voltage across base and emitter(base emitter region is forward biased)
ΔiB is base current which is of order of few microamperes. Thus input impedance is low.
Hence correct answer is option A.
