Explanation: A transistor's emitter-base junction acts like a diode. A healthy diode exhibits low resistance when forward biased (current flows in one direction) and very high (ideally infinite) resistance when reverse biased (current is blocked). If an ohmmeter shows low resistance between the emitter and base in *both* directions (including when the test leads are reversed), it indicates that the junction is shorted or significantly leaky, which signifies a faulty transistor. Conversely: * **A)** Describes the expected behavior of a healthy diode, showing low resistance in one direction and high in the other. * **B)** Zero ohms across an in-line fuse indicates it is intact and conducting, which is its normal, healthy state. A blown fuse would show infinite resistance. * **C)** A healthy ceramic bypass capacitor blocks DC current. An ohmmeter, applying DC, should show infinite ohms (or a very high, rising resistance as it charges) across it, indicating it is not shorted.
