B Correct answer
Explanation

The CE configuration has high voltage gain as well as high current gain. It performs basic function of amplifications. The CB configuration has lowest $R_i$ and highest $R_0$. It is used as last step to match a very low impedance source and to drain a high impedance load. Thus cascade amplifier is a multistage configuration of CE-CB
