Solution
The correct option is A II Si of high purity to be used in semiconductor can be prepared by the reaction of Si with chlorine to form SiCl4 followed by fractional distillation (to purify SiCl4) and reduction with hydrogen. Zone refining is used for the further purification. Si+2Cl2→SiCl4(l)2H2(g)−−−−→Si(s)+4HCl(g)Zonerefining−−−−−−−−→Ultrapuresilicon
