(a) X is P-type, Y is N-type and the junction is forward biased

(b) X is N-type, Y is P-type and the junction is forward biased

(c) X is P-type, Y is N-type and the junction is reverse biased

(d) X is N-type, Y is P-type and the junction is reverse biased

Answer

(d) X is N-type, Y is P-type and the junction is reverse biased
