Two statements are given below:
\((\mathrm{A})\) When the forward bias voltage across a \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction diode increases above a certain threshold voltage, the diode current increases significantly.
\((\mathrm{B})\) This current is called reverse saturation current.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1. Both Statements \((\mathrm{A})\) and \((\mathrm{B})\) are False.
2. Statement \((\mathrm{A})\) is True, but Statement \((\mathrm{B})\) is False.
3. Both Statements \((\mathrm{A})\) and \((\mathrm{B})\) are True.
4. Statement \((\mathrm{A})\) is False, but Statement \((\mathrm{B})\) is True.

Three identical \(\mathrm{p\text-n}\) junction diodes \(D_1\), \(D_2\) and \(D_3\) are connected across a battery as shown in the figure. If the width of the depletion regions of \(D_1\), \(D_2\) and \(D_3\) are \(W_1\), \(W_2\) and \(W_3\), respectively, then the correct option is:
                    
1. \(W_2 > W_1 = W_3\)
2. \(W_1 > W_2 > W_3\)
3. \(W_3 = W_1 > W_2\)
4. \(W_3 > W_2 > W_1\)
