Answer Key / Explanation : (c) -

(c)

In reverse bias applied to a p-n junction diode raises the potential barrier because -type material connected to the negative terminal and pulled the holes away from the junction similarly -type material connected to positive terminal and pulled the electrons. Therefore the depletion region wider.
