In forward biasing of the p–n junction

1. the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p–side and the depletion region becomes thick
2. the positive terminal of the battery is connected to n–side and the depletion region becomes thin
3. the positive terminal of the battery is connected to n–side and the depletion region becomes thick
4. the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p–side and the depletion region becomes thin

Correct Option: D

In forward biasing of the p-n junction, the positive terminal of the battery is connected to p-side and the negative terminal of the battery is connected to n-side. The depletion region becomes thin.
