Solution

To implement a full-wave rectifier, a minimum of 4 diodes are required. This configuration is known as a bridge rectifier. The four diodes are arranged in a closed loop (bridge) configuration to efficiently convert the input AC (Alternating Current) signal into a DC (Direct Current) signal by flipping the negative half cycle of the input signal to positive. Therefore, the correct answer is 4.
