Assertion (A): During reverse, biasing a diode doesn't conduct current.
Reason (R) : It narrows the depletion layer.

Options

A. If both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
B. If both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
C. If A is true but R is false
D. If A is false but R is true.

Answer

C

Explanation

During reverse biasing , the depletion layer widens , and so there is more resistance for an electron or a hole to cross that layer to conduct current.
