Solution

The correct option is A no charged bodies
The $N$ -end of a diode contains the ‘free electrons,’’ i.e., negative charges, and the $P$ -end of a diode has the ‘Holes,’ i.e., equivalent positive charges.
The depletion region does not possess any charges. This region does not contain any charged bodies.
