The correct option is B Both options (A) and (B)
p−n junction diode allows the flow of current only in one direction.
Also, the forward biased resistance is very low as compared to reverse biased resistance.
So, if an alternating voltage is applied across a diode, the current flows only in that part of the cycle when the diode is forward biased.
This property is used to rectify alternating voltage.
Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
