The drift current in a p-n junction is

A

from the n - side to the p - side

B

from the p - side to then – side

C

from the n-side to the p- side if the junction is forward biased and in the opposite direction if it is reverse - biased

D

from the p - side to the n – side if the junction is forward - biased and in the opposite direction if it is reverse - biased
