Solution

The correct option is C Silicon
An integrated circuit or monolithic integrated circuit (also referred to as an IC, a chip, or a microchip) is a set of electronic circuits on one small flat piece (or "chip") of semiconductor material, normally silicon.

Why Silicon?
  • It is semiconductor. Moreover, silicon’s electrical properties can be modified through a process called doping. These characteristics make it an ideal material for making transistors.
  • Silicon is also an abundant element on Earth which allows it to be extremely affordable and appealing.
