For a BJT, the common – base current gain α = 0.98 and the collector base junction reverse bias saturation current ICO= 0.6μA . This BJT is connected in the common emitter mode and operated in the active region with a base drive current IB= 20μA. The collector current IC for this mode of operation is
(a) 0.98 mA
(b) 0.99 mA
(c) 1.0 mA
(d) 1.01 mA
