When a PN junction diode is reverse biased :
Electrons and holes are attracted towards each other and move towards the depletion region
Electrons and holes move away from the junction depletion region
Height of the potential barrier decreases
No change in the current takes place

Solution:

Factual Question: When a PN junction diode is reverse biased potential barrier of depletion increases. Thus Electrons and holes move away from the junction depletion region.
