In saturation mode, the transistor acts almost like a closed switch, allowing maximum current to flow from collector to emitter. The value of $I_{C(sat)}$ is typically calculated based on the supply voltage and the load connected to the collector. Without the figure or specific values for supply voltage, load resistance, and base current, it's impossible to accurately calculate $I_{C(sat)}$. However, given the options, if we had to choose based on typical saturation current values for general-purpose transistors in common circuits, 42.6 mA (Option A) could be a plausible value, assuming it was derived from such a calculation. This explanation is speculative due to the lack of specific data.
