Correct answer: C

  1. Use the silicon diode model

    For a normal silicon diode, when it is forward biased, the voltage drop across it is approximately 0.7 V.0.7\text{ V}.0.7 V.

  2. Identify conducting path

    Since the positive terminal of the 5 V5\text{ V}5 V battery is connected to point XXX, the diode arrangement makes the relevant diode(s) forward biased in the current path from XXX to YYY.

    In the given circuit, the effective forward-biased path includes one silicon diode in series with the resistor combination seen between XXX and YYY.

    Therefore, the net voltage available across the resistor part is VR=5−0.7=4.3 V.V_R = 5 - 0.7 = 4.3\text{ V}.VR​=5−0.7=4.3 V.

  3. Effective resistance

    From the circuit, the equivalent resistance in the conducting path is Req=10 Ω.R_{\text{eq}} = 10\,\Omega.Req​=10Ω.

  4. Calculate current supplied by battery

    Using Ohm’s law, I=VRReq=4.310=0.43 A.I = \frac{V_R}{R_{\text{eq}}} = \frac{4.3}{10} = 0.43\text{ A}.I=Req​VR​​=104.3​=0.43 A.

  5. Match with options

    I≈0.43 AI \approx 0.43\text{ A}I≈0.43 A which corresponds to Option C.

  6. Comparison with stored answer

    Stored correct answer: C

    My derived answer: C

    Hence, they agree.
