In forward biasing of the $p-n$ junction

In forward biasing of the $p-n$ junction
  1. the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $n$-side and the depletion region becomes thin
  2. the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $n$-side and the depletion region becomes thick
  3. the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p$-side and the depletion region become thin
  4. the positive terminal of the battery is connected to $p$-side and the depletion region becomes thick

Solution

In forward biasing of $p-n$ junction the positve terminal of the battery is connected to $p$-side and the depletion region becomes thin.
