The diffusion 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 function 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.
