Fill in the blank with the correct answer from the options given below.

Options:

(A) and (C) only

(B) and (C) only

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

(C) and (D) only

Correct Answer:

(A) and (C) only

Explanation:

pure silicon is doped with pentavalent impurity to obtain an n-type semiconductor.

From the options given pentavalent elements are Arsenic and phosphorus
