Which statement correctly compares the resistance of a PN junction diode in its two bias conditions?

Correct answer B. Low in forward bias and very high in reverse bias

Explanation

A forward-biased diode passes current easily, so its resistance is low; a reverse-biased diode passes almost no current, so its resistance is very high. This one-way behaviour enables rectification.
