Answer should be B. In a schematic of diode, the arrow points to n-type material which is cathode (+).

@Neard.

Arrow is in p-type, line(ring) is in n-type.
So answer C is right.

I think you are right.

Normally the arrow indicates the direction of current flowing from anode to cathode.

@Neard.
Arrow is in p-type, line(ring) is in n-type.
So answer C is right.

No @Mayank.

Anode +ve.
Cathode -ve.
