A transistor has two p-n junctions. The batteries should be connected such that
both junctions are forward biased
both junctions are reverse biased
one junction is forward biased and the other is reverse biased
none of the above
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Emitter-base junction is forward biased and base collector junction is reverse biased.

The use of transistor decides biasing. If we want to use it as an amplifier than the EB junction should be forward bias and CB junction should be reverse biased. And to use it as open switch or closed switch, biasing should be different. So question should be more specific that to use transistor as amplifier, biasing should be ?

In question, that is not mentioned transistor application as on switch off switch, amplifier, attenuator. Then why answer c?

The main purpose of a transistor is for amplification and in that operation the biasing should be E-B forward and C-B reverse.

Letter A is saturation mode. And Letter B is Cut-off mode (in cutoff, only E-B should matter and should be reverse).

This is the region we call as active ie: CB region is reverse and CE region is forward it is used to give amplification.
