B) linear
C) bilateral
D) active

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These components are considered active because they have the ability to amplify power or control the flow of current. Unlike passive components (like resistors and capacitors), which cannot introduce net energy into the circuit they are connected to, active components like transistors, semiconductor diodes, and electron tubes can amplify signals or act as switches.
