Answer:

C) Decreases with an increase in temperature

Step-by-step explanation:

As the temperature of a transistor increases, the thermal runaway property of the transistor becomes more significant and the transistors, conducting more freely as a result of the rise in temperature, causes an increase in the collector current or leakage current. The transistor base-emitter voltage decreases as a result.

With increased heating due to heavy current flow, the transistor is damaged.
