The depletion layer of a p-n junction:

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Acts like an insulating zone under reverse bias

Option B (Acts like an insulating zone under reverse bias) is correct because the depletion region is devoid of free charge carriers and thus acts as an insulator, especially under reverse bias which widens the region.
