Assuming in forward bias condition there is a voltage drop of $0.7 \, \text{V}$ across a silicon diode, the current through diode $D_1$ in the circuit shown is _____ mA. (Assume all diodes in the given circuit are identical)

A 12 V source in series with a 0.3 kilo-ohm resistor R1 feeding three identical silicon diodes D1, D2 and D3 connected in parallel to ground; D1 and D3 point downward and are forward biased, while D2 is drawn pointing upward and is therefore reverse biased.

A
$11.7$
B
$17.6$
C
$20.15$
D
$18.8$
