Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) (A), (B) and (C) only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Statements (A), (B), and (C) are correct. (A) Correct: In p-type semiconductors (doped with trivalent impurities like Boron), holes are majority carriers and electrons are minority carriers. (B) Correct: In intrinsic (pure) semiconductors, \(n_e=n_h\). (C) Correct: In n-type…
