Solution

The correct option is E Silica

The CPU chip used in a computer is partially made out of Silica.

Sand and almost all rocks contain silicon combined with oxygen, forming silica. ... Silicon is the basic material used to make computer chips, transistors, silicon diodes and other electronic circuits and switching devices because its atomic structure makes the element an ideal semiconductor.

silicon is a highly pure, easy to use, and cheap semiconductor, perfect for the now huge computer chip industry. Answer 5: Silicon is used because it can be used as either an insulator (doesn't allow electricity to flow) or a semiconductor (allows a little flow of electricity).

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.
