Solution

The correct option is C intrinsic semiconductor
Intrinsic (pure) semiconductors are undoped semiconductors. The charge carriers i.e electrons and holes in this kind of semiconductor are equal in number. The electrical conductivity of these type of semiconductors is due to electron excitation.
Eg: $S i, G e, e t c \dots$
