In a zener diode

there are two p-n junctions

the ratio v-i can be negative

the forward current is very high

sharp breakdown occurs at a certain reverse voltage

Correct Answer : Option (D) : sharp breakdown occurs at a certain reverse voltage

Explanation : When reverse voltage equals breakdown value it starts conducting and voltage does not increase further.
