Solution
The correct option is B Region II of graph is used
Region (I) is the cut-off region, region (II) is the active region and region (III) is the saturation region.
The region (II) of transfer characteristic is an active region and hence it is used as an amplifier. So, option (B) is correct.
(If we use a transistor as a switch, the cut off region (I) is used for OFF state and the saturation region (III) is used for ON state)
