Yes, it should not be internally shorted because according to me, the resistance can come to zero.

Right, thanks @Palkaushil.

@All.
According to me,
1. When the diode is forward biased, it acts like a closed switch. So, only a few/less resistance required to conduct it.
2. When the diode is reverse biased, it acts like an open switch. So, a high resistance (infinity) is required to conduct it (pass current through it).
3. Some say, this is internally short. (in both forward and reversed bias).
In ideal cases, the internal resistance (when short) can be zero.
But, in practical cases, the internal resistance (when short) cannot be zero. It offers at least a few resistance.
But, this case is not good for a diode.
Am I right? Please tell me.

It is observed to test the working condition of the diode.

Good working Diode in Forward Bias acts as a closed switch therefore Forward Resistance is low.
In Reverse Bias, it acts as an open switch therefore Reverse Resistance is High.
If the diode has low resistance in both the cases then it is shorted internally and not good for use.
In Reverse Bias, it acts as an open switch therefore Reverse Resistance is High.
If the diode has low resistance in both the cases then it is shorted internally and not good for use.

When the diode is forward bias it is short circuited.

What is meant by diode? What is the main application of diode?
Punam m kapse said:

In forward bias a diode is short circuit and have zero resistance, so silicon diode measure a low value of resistance.

The answer is option C because the output is not correct when in the circuitry some of the problems such as the connection are short.
