Answer is A. The minimum current required for turn-off.

Holding current is a minimum current turn of scr.

Latching current to maintain the conduction.
Harmesh said:   9 years ago
Option A is right.
Srinivasan said:   9 years ago
Yes, option A is the right answer.
Rahul said:   8 years ago
Yes, option A is right answer. I also agree.
Kumar said:   7 years ago
Option A, which says, "the minimum current required for turn-off" would not be true for holding current because it is not the minimum current to turn-off but "the minimum current that would allow conduction". Technically speaking, the minimum current required for turn-off is LESS than the holding current.
