Detailed Solution

Reverse bias often refers to a circuit's employment of a diode. When a diode is reverse biassed, the cathode's voltage is greater than the anode's. Therefore, no current will flow until the diode fails due to a strong enough electric field.
Drift current is the term used for this current.
There is a voltage drop from 4V to 2V.

Thus the change in voltage is, V=4V-2V

Also change in current

 I=20μA-10μA I=10μA

We now that , V=IR

R=2×105Ω

Hence the correct answer is 2×105Ω.
