Solution

The correct option is C Voltage regulators
In reverse bias after Zener break down, reverse voltage across the Zener diode does not charge even if current passing through it changes considerably. This property of the diode allows us to use it as a voltage regulator.

Hence, $(C)$ is the correct answer.
