C) open.
D) a properly operating diode.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A diode that exhibits high resistance in both directions when measured with an ohmmeter is an open diode. A properly operating diode should show low resistance in one direction and high resistance (or open circuit) in the opposite direction. A shorted diode would show very low resistance in both directions, and a leaky diode would show low resistance in both directions.
