In a $PN-$junction diode:

  • A
    The current in the reverse biased condition is generally very small.
  • B
    The current in the reverse biased condition is small but the forward biased current is independent of the bias voltage.
  • C
    The reverse biased current is strongly dependent on the applied bias voltage.
  • D
    The forward biased current is very small in comparison to reverse biased current.
