Solution

The correct option is A True

n -type semiconductor: The semiconductor whose increased conductivity is a result of negatively-charged electrons is called an n -type semiconductor. When the crystal of a group 14 element such as Si or Ge is doped with a group 15 element such as P or As, an n -type semiconductor is generated.
