Solution

The correct option is A

The anode is more positive with respect to the cathode.


In a forward-biased diode, the anode is more positive with respect to the cathode.In forward biasing the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the the p-side and the negative terminal to the n-side of the p-n junction
