The ‘buried layer’ reduces collector series resistance by providing, Correct Answer A low resistivity current path from n-type layer to n+ contact layer

A heavily doped n+ region is sandwiched between the n-type epitaxial collector and p-type substrate. This buried n+ region provide a low resistivity current path from active collector region (n-type layer) to the collector contact (n+ contact layer). In effect, the n+ layer shunt n-layer of collector region with respect to flow of current, thus effectively reduces the collector resistance.
