Photo-diode is reverse biased because
Answer: C
A photodiode is operated in reverse bias because the reverse current is small compared with the photo current, so that the light-generated current can be measured easily above the dark current. The drift of carriers in the strong field also increases the response speed. The other options give a wrong reason, such as illumination of one side only or a large reverse current. So the third option is correct.
