Options:
  • A $2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}$
  • B $2 \times 10^{-2} \mathrm{~A}$
  • C $4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}$

The correct answer is: $4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}$
The diode is forward biased. The potential difference between $\mathrm{P}$ and $\mathrm{Q}$ is $(3-(-5))=8 \mathrm{~V}$.
$$
\mathrm{I}=\frac{\mathrm{V}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{8}{2 \times 10^3}=4 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A}
$$
