In an unbiased \(\mathrm{p\text-n}\) junction, holes diffuse from the \(\mathrm{p\text-}\)region to \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)region because:

1. free electrons in the \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)region attract them.
2. they move across the junction by the potential difference.
3. hole concentration in \(\mathrm{p\text-}\)region is more as compared to \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)region.
4. All the above.
