Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) B and D only

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

To create a p-type semiconductor, pure silicon (Group 14) must be doped with trivalent impurities (Group 13) like Boron (B) or Aluminum (D). These atoms have only three valence electrons, creating "holes" in the crystal lattice that act as majority charge carriers. A) B and D…
