Best answer

Answer: 2. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.

  • Statement I is correct: photovoltaic devices (solar cells) convert optical radiation into electricity.
  • Statement II is correct: a Zener diode is heavily doped and designed to work in reverse bias in the breakdown region, which is why it is used as a voltage regulator.

Both are correct, so option 2.
