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
