Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion 
and the other is labelled as Reason 
Assertion A: Diffusion current in a p-n junction is greater than the drift current in magnitude if the junction is forward biased.
Reason R: Diffusion current in a p-n junction is from the 
-side to the 
-side if the junction is forward biased.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below

are correct and 
is the correct explanation of 
and 
are correct but 
is NOT the correct explanation of 
is correct but 
is not correct
is not correct but
