How is the spread time of a thyristor defined?

Correct answer B. Anode current rises from 90% to its final value

Explanation

Spread time is the last stage of turn-on, when conduction spreads over the whole cathode area and anode current rises from 90% to its final value while voltage falls to the on-state level.
