Solution

When a transistor is operated in cutoff and saturation, it acts like a (b) Switch.

Here's why:

  1. Cutoff Mode: In this mode, the transistor is in "off" state or it is cut-off. This means no current flows through it. This is similar to the "off" state of a switch.

  2. Saturation Mode: In this mode, the transistor is in "on" state or it is saturated. This means maximum current flows through it. This is similar to the "on" state of a switch.

So, when a transistor is operated in these two modes, it behaves like a switch, turning on and off.
