What does the symbol in figure "1" shown in the illustration represent? EL-0065

Correct Answer: Option A — PNP bipolar junction transistor

Schematic symbols for bipolar junction transistors feature an arrow on the emitter terminal, with an inward-pointing arrow explicitly denoting a PNP configuration. Conversely, NPN transistors feature an outward-pointing emitter arrow, aligning with standard IEEE and marine electrical documentation practices.
