In order to check the performance of a transistor removed from its circuit, what meter or tester should be used?

Aimpedance meter
Bsensitive potentiometer
Cvoltmeter or transistor tester
Dohmmeter or transistor tester
AI Explanation

The correct answer is D) ohmmeter or transistor tester. To check the performance of a transistor removed from its circuit, an ohmmeter or a dedicated transistor tester should be used. This is because a transistor is a semiconductor device, and its functionality can be evaluated by measuring its resistance and checking if it is functioning properly as a switch or amplifier. The other options are incorrect because an impedance meter is used to measure the impedance of a component, which is not the primary characteristic of a transistor, and a sensitive potentiometer is used to measure small voltages, which is also not the appropriate tool for testing a transistor.
