Solution
The correct option is C4Ω or 13Ω For forward biased condition as shown both the diode works as forward bias, so network works as a Wheatstone bridge.
hence, no currect flows from 5Ω resistor.
hence, Req=6×126+12=4Ω
For reverse biased condition as shown
Both the diode works as a open circuit.
hence, Req=4+5+4=13Ω
