Solution

The correct option is B Transistor
Active components have the ability to control electron flow (current flow).
Some of the examples of active components are: vacuum tubes, transistors, rectifiers and TRIACs.
Passive components are incapable of controlling current. E.g: Resistors, capacitors, inductors, transformers, and diode
