When a

p - n

junction diode is connected in forward bias its barrier potential

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Decreases and more current flows in the circuit

Option B (Decreases and more current flows in the circuit) is correct because forward bias reduces the barrier potential, allowing more charge carriers to flow.
