What is the purpose of a current-limiting resistor in a diode circuit?
 
  A) A current-limiting resistor is only necessary if it is reverse biased
  B) The resistor prevents the diode from becoming reverse-biased
  C) The resistor will increase the PIV rating of the diode
  D) A properly biased diode is like a short circuit, therefore a resistor provides a voltage drop
