Choose the correct statement about a Zener diode.

Options

• Option A

  It works as a voltage regulator in reverse bias and behaves like a simple p-n junction diode in forward bias.

• Option B

  It works as a voltage regulator in both forward and reverse bias.

• Option C

  It works as a voltage regulator only in forward bias.

• Option D

  It works as a voltage regulator in forward bias and behaves like a simple p-n junction diode in reverse bias.
