In an unbiased \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction, holes diffuse from the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)regions to \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)regions because of: 
1. the attraction of free electrons of the \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)region.
2. the higher hole concentration in the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)region than that in the \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)region. 
3. the higher concentration of electrons is in the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}}\)region than that in the \(\mathrm{n\text{-}}\)region. 
4. the potential difference across the \(\mathrm{p\text{-}n}\) junction.
