A silicon semiconductor diode when subjected to ohmmeter testing gives low resistance in both directions. Which of the following is the correct inference to be drawn?

A silicon semiconductor diode when subjected to ohmmeter testing gives low resistance in both directions. Which of the following is the correct inference to be drawn? Correct Answer Diode is short-circuited

A proper diode gives a low resistance reading along one direction and high resistance reading along the other. Hence, if diode gives low resistance readings in both directions, then the diode must be short-circuited. It’s noteworthy that a faulty diode gives a high resistance reading along both paths.
