(A) The potential of the $P$-side is $V_P = 0\,V$ (since it is earthed).The potential of the $N$-side is $V_N = -2\,V$.The potential difference across the diode is $V_{PN} = V_P - V_N = 0 - (-2) = +2\,V$.Since the $P$-side is at a higher potential than the $N$-side,the diode is forward-biased.Therefore,the diode will conduct.
