In an SCR circuit, the anode is grounded. The voltages at the gate and cathode at a particular working condition are measured to be -50 V and -55 V, respectively. Based on this observation, it could be inferred that

A. The SCR is in forward blocking mode

B. The SCR is in forward conducting mode

C. The SCR is in reverse blocking mode

D. The SCR is damaged

Answer: Option B
