Assertion A : Photodiodes are preferably operated in reverse bias condition for light intensity measurement. Reason R : The current in the forward bias is more than the current in the reverse bias for a p – n junction diode. In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• (A)Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
• (B)A is false but R is true
• (C)A is true but R is false
