Solution
The correct options are
A silicon
B Silver
Silicon is a semiconductor material. When it is doped with impurities like gallium and arsenic, its ability to capture the sun's energy and convert it into electricity increases considerably. Silver paste is used in 90% of the world's solar panels (crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells). Silver has the highest electrical and thermal conductivity among metals and is the most reflective.
