Solution

The P-N junction will conduct only when it is forward biased i.e. when -5 V is fed to it, so it will conduct only for third quarter part of signal shown and when it conducts potential drop 5 V will be across both the resistors, so output voltage across R2 is 2.5 V.

∴ V 0 = - 2.5 V

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
