raises the potential barrier.
reduces the majority carrier current to zero.
lowers the potential barrier.
None of the above.

The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The correct statement is (C): Lowers the potential barrier
When a forward bias is applied to a p-n junction, it lowers the value of potential barrier. In the case of a forward bias, the potential barrier opposes the applied voltage. Hence, the potential barrier across the junction gets reduced.
