Which of the following constitutes Zener diode? Correct Answer Regulator

Zener diode can be used as a voltage regulator. They are in turn used as shunt regulators to regulate the voltage in relatively smaller circuits. Zener diode is obtained as a result of reverse biasing of a p-n junction diode.
