Assertion (A): Silicon is the most favoured semiconductor material.

Reason (R): PIV for silicon diode is more than that for germanium diode.

Both A and R are true and R is correct explanation of A
Both A and R are true but R is not correct explanation of A
A is true but R is false

PIV not a limitation. Its an advantage a diode can with stand up to that voltage. That to having low cost. Some times PIV makes differs too but over all being a diode its a favour for silicon over germanium.

Peak inverse voltage ratings of Silicon diodes are greater than Germanium diodes.

Higher PIVis a limitation, not the advantage it makes circuit costlier.
