Recently, I received an ASCII schematic for something, and it includes a
diode rectifier. Unfortunately, there aren't any arrows showing which way
the diode goes. Which one of these is it? (multiple choice for your convenience
:-)

a)  ____|\|____       b)   ___|\|____        c)  ____|/|____ 
   |    |/|    |          |   |/|    |          |    |\|    |

I think there are only 4 ways to arrange the diodes, so there shouldn't be
an e, but I could be wrong...
