Solution

The correct option is D extrinsic semiconductors.
Transistors are made by stacking of a doped (extrinsic) semiconductor to a p-n junction diode either from p-side or n-side, in order to make a sequence either p-n-p or n-p-n. These three regions are named as emitter, base and collector respectively.
