Transistor biasing is the process of setting a transistor's DC operating voltage or current conditions to the correct level. It's necessary to activate a transistor and make analog and digital operation possible. 

The process of making the operating point independent of temperature changes or variations in transistor parameters is known as stabilization. A good biasing circuit always ensures the stabilization of operating point. 

Here's some more information about transistor biasing and stabilization:
Biasing: Involves applying an appropriate DC voltage to the base-emitter junction of a transistor, and the calculation of the required values of resistors to ensure proper biasing. The optimum value of transistor bias voltage is equal to two times the required AC output voltage peak.
Stabilization: The process of making the operating point independent of temperature changes or variations in transistor parameters. Bias stabilization makes that operating point independent and stable everything on its own.
