A static induction thyristor
is a majority carrier device
is a minority carrier device
either a majority carrier or minority carrier device
has a total number of 2 leads
Answer: Option
Explanation:

It can be turned on by positive gate pulse and turned off by negative gate pulse. It is minority carrier device. It can be manufactured in high current and high voltage ratings and its on state voltage drops is low.
