Silicon diode is less suited for low voltage rectifier operation, because—

1. It can withstand high temperature
2. Its reverse saturation current is low
3. Its cut-in voltage is high
4. Its breakdown voltage is high

Correct Option: D

Silicon diode is less suited for low voltage rectifier operation, because its breakdown voltage is high, due to which it can withstand higher temperature.
