Directions: The below item consists of two statements, one labelled as the 'Statement (I)' and the other as 'Statement (II)'. Examine these two statements carefully and select the answers to these items using the codes given below:Statement (I): One of the mechanisms by which a transistor's usefulness may be terminated, as the collector voltage is increased, is called punch through.Statement (II): Punch through results from the increased width of the collector-junction transition region with increased collector-junction voltage.Codes:

• A. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true and Statement (II) is the correct explanation of Statement (I)
• B. Both Statement (I) and Statement (II) are individually true but Statement (II) is NOT the correct explanation of Statement (I)
• C. Statement (I) is true but Statement (II) is false
• D. Statement (I) is false but Statement (II) is true
