The correct answer is:
there is an electric field at the junction directed from the n-type side to p-type side
At junction a potential barrier/depletion layer is formed with $n$-side at higher potential and p-side at lower potential. Therefore, there is an electric field at the junction directed from the n-side to p-side.
