It is for forward bias only @Raja.

Agree @Basha.

Then option D is correct.

As we know in diode cathode means -ve and anode means +ve.

Shortcut: P-p and N-n Forward Bias.
P-n and N-p Reverse Bias.

Note: P- terminal of diode (Anode)
N- terminal of diode (cathode)
p- +ve power supply
n- -ve power supply
