In diodes anode means positive. Forward bias means positive to positive connection that is,
Anode to positive connection. so Option A is correct.

The anode is connected to positive supply because it enhances the combination of holes and electrons to emit light photons.

Electrons flow from higher denser area to lower area. Due to anode is positive it is connected to positive supply.

In diodes, anode means positive feedback forward bias. So connect to the positive supply.

For forward bias anode (positive) should connect to positive supply.
