Best answer
Correct answer is (a) Inductor

The explanation: A capacitor with a center tap or simply two capacitors in parallel to an inductor, acting as a voltage divider, acts as the feedback system, providing feedback to the base of the amplifying transistor. Oscillations across the capacitor are applied at the base-emitter junction and appear across the collector as an amplified output.
