A hole diffuses from the p-side to the n-side in a p-n junction.This means that

A

a bond is broken on the n-side and the electron freed from the bond jumps to the conduction band

B

a conduction electron on the p-side jumps to a broken bond to complete it

C

a bond is broken on the p-side and the electron freed from the bond jumps to a broken bond on the p-side to complete it.

D

a bond is broken on the p-side and the electron freed from the bond jumps to a broken bond on the n-side to complete it.
