Solution
The correct option is A Simple diode, Zener diode, Solar cell, Light dependent resistance Zener diode:
It can operate continuously without being damaged in the region of reverse biased
but
1) It acts as a voltage regulator
2) In forward biasing it acts as an ordinary diode.
Solar cells:
It is based on the photoelectric effect. It converts solar energy into electrical energy.
But:
One of the semiconductor regions is made so thin that the light incident on it reaches the PN junction and get absorbed.
