I had been asked this question by my school teacher while I was bunking the class.

I'm obligated to ask this question of Thevenin’s Theorem in division Network Theorems of Basic Electrical Engineering

Answer 1

The correct answer is (a) Linear networks

To elaborate: Thevenin’s theorem works for only linear circuit elements and not non-linear ones such as BJT, semiconductors etc.
