If the value of collector current IC increases, then the value of VCE ___________

The correct answer is C. Increases.

When the collector current IC increases, the value of VCE also increases. This is because the collector current is the current that flows through the collector of the transistor, and the voltage across the collector-emitter junction (VCE) is the voltage that is dropped across the collector-emitter resistor. When the collector current increases, the voltage drop across the collector-emitter resistor also increases, and this causes the voltage across the collector-emitter junction to increase.

Option A is incorrect because the
