26. Transistor Reliability

Question.2

You power ON a circuit and the transistor fails immediately or within a few seconds, even though the circuit works fine once running (when tested later with a new part).

What is the reason for this power-up failure?

The transistor is damaged by inrush current during power-up
The transistor marking is incorrect
The control signal frequency is too low
The PCB solder mask thickness is wrong
