16. Diode Selection

Question.9

A diode in a low-voltage circuit is replaced with another diode that has the same voltage and current rating, but a higher forward voltage drop.

After replacement, the circuit stops working correctly.

What is the reason?

The new diode cannot handle the circuit voltage
The new diode drops too much voltage when it turns ON
The new diode completely blocks current flow
Forward voltage difference does not affect low-voltage circuits
