What is secondary breakdown?
Answer: C
Secondary breakdown is a thermal instability in which current concentrates into a hot spot that then conducts still better, destroying the device - a runaway rather than an avalanche. It is why the safe operating area is bounded by more than a simple power hyperbola. The other options describe an avalanche region, a junction rating and normal leakage. A failure mechanism driven by positive feedback needs its own boundary on a rating chart, because no average calculation predicts it.
