How can conduction losses in the diode of a buck converter be reduced?

Correct answer B. A low on – resistance switch can be added in parallel

Explanation

In synchronous rectification a low on-resistance MOSFET is placed in parallel with the freewheeling diode and turned on while it would conduct, so current flows with a much lower voltage drop.
