    Correct Option - 4


    Detailed Solution:

    If the multimeter shows zero or low resistance reading for forward bias and does not change even on reversing the connection then the diode is defective. It is short.

    If the diode shows a high resistance under both forward and reverse biased conditions, it is defective. It is open.

    If the multimeter shows zero or low resistance reading for forward bias and shows high resistance reading on reversing the connection then the diode is not defective.
