Answer

For +ve half cycle of AC input, terminal A or transformer T will be as low voltage relative centre tap terminal C & B at high voltage. So, D1 will be reverse biased & D2 will be forward biased. Diode D2 conducts to give an output across RL through M. For –ve half cycle of input AC, A will be at high voltage & B will be at low voltage to make D1 forward and D2 reverse biased. D1 conducts to give an output across RL with same polarity.
