Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) holes and electrons

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The charge carriers that are present in large quantity are called majority charge carriers. In a \(p\)-type semiconductor, the majority charge carriers are the holes whereas in the \(n\)-type semiconductor, the majority charge carriers are the free electrons
