B
P-n junction
C
n-type
D
p-type

Correct Option: C
When silicon is doped with a trivalent atom. A p-type semi-conductor will be formed when silicon is doped with a pentavalent atom such as arsenic, a n-type semi-conductor will be formed
Phosphorous is a pentavalent element, so it will produce a o -type semi-conductor
