Diode is in revers biased and hence reflecting the resistance in Megohm. It is normal behavior of a diode, nothing is wrong with Diode. So answer should be [C] nothing.

Diode is in reverse biased so it provide higher resistance,so it is normal behavior of diode,so nothing wrong with diode so answer is [c]

Since the negative terminal connected to p side the diode must be open circuited.

Answer [c] is correct. But actual reason behind this we are using multimeter not a voltage source or excitation source so neither it is in the state of forward bias nor reverse bias it acting as a normal component in which we don't apply any input.

So answer[c] is correct.

Puneet thakral explaination is correct.

DIODE neither reverse bias nor forward bias. The reason behind is no source (voltage or current) connected. So diode act as a normal component.

So answer "C" is correct.

Diode is reverse biased. So, there might be no fault with the diode.

Option c is correct because here we are not using the voltage or current devices so diode is not reverse bias as well as not in forward biased so there is nothing wrong with diode.

In a multimeter we can check resistance of any component. To find resistance it applies some excitation (voltage) across component, then some current flows.

Therefore it calculate R=V/I. In here diode n terminal will have more +ve than p terminal. Therefore reverse biased. Some reverse current(Io) will flows (not open). Resistance =v/Io.

Answer C is correct because diode without any input acts as a normal component and it is in reverse bias according to connection as shown above so reverse bias gives high resistance.
