C)breakover.
D)a negative gate voltage.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Once a diac is conducting, the only way to turn it off is by reducing the current flowing through it below its holding current, which is referred to as low-current dropout. Diacs do not have a gate terminal for control like triacs or thyristors, so applying a gate voltage is not applicable.
