Solution

The correct statement is (a) In a junction diode, the p-side is called the anode and the n-side is called the cathode of the diode. This is because in a junction diode, the p-side (which is rich in holes or positive charge carriers) is connected to the anode (positive terminal), and the n-side (which is rich in electrons or negative charge carriers) is connected to the cathode (negative terminal).
