The correct answer is: If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion
Most amplifiers use the common emitter circuit configuration because the cricuit offers both current and voltage gains resulting in much higher power gain that can be obtained by a common-base amplifier. The other consideration for the use of the common-emitter amplifier is that its input resistance is higher and of the order of load resistance.
