Compared with transistors, which devices have lower on-state conduction losses and higher power handling capability?

Correct answer C. Thyristors

Explanation

Once latched, a thyristor's regenerative PNPN action floods the device with carriers, giving a low on-state voltage drop and allowing very high voltage and current ratings.
