Under forward bias, carriers crossing to the opposite side is:
AAvalanche multiplication
BMajority carrier drift
CMinority carrier injection
DZener tunnelling effect
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. Minority carrier injection
The crossing carriers become minority carriers on the far side, so the process is minority carrier injection.
