Answer: Reverse biased.
Explanation:
A diode conducts electricity in one direction. It is usually made up of a semiconductor material. It has two electrodes: anode and cathode.
In forward biased, the anode is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and cathode is connected to the negative terminal of the battery.
It is opposite in case of reverse biased and in such situation, diode does not conduct electric current.
In the given diagram,
Anode is grounded and cathode is connected to the higher potential. Thus, it is reverse biased.
