Solution

The collector current (Ic) in a Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) operating in the active region increases when the base current (Ib) increases. This is because in the active region, the BJT acts as a current amplifier. The collector current is approximately β times the base current (Ic ≈ βIb), where β is the current gain of the transistor. Therefore, the answer is d. Ic increases.
