उत्तर
B - reverse biased
In the case of a reverse-biased diode, the potential barrier becomes higher as the battery further raises the potential of the n side.
C - forward biased
Due to the forward bias connection, the potential of P side is raised and hence the height of the potential barrier decreases.
