Solution

The correct option is A Electrons
In N-type semi-conductor majority carriers are electrons. So, when the voltage is applied across the semi-conductor electrons started to drift from negative to positive terminal as result current starts to flow in opposite direction of electrons.
Hence in N- type semi-conductor current is due to electrons.
