As we discussed in concept

P-N junction -

When p type semiconductor is mixed with N - type semiconductor, P-N junction formed

 

- wherein

There is very thin region (of the order of micro meter) called depution region.

 

 In the depletion region, all the holes and electrons combined together and anhiliate each other and hence only ions will be present in depletion region.

Option 2)

 Only holes

This option is incorrect.

Option 3)
