Solution

The correct option is C ICs

ICs electronic component was made out of semiconductor material.

Components Are Formed. In an integrated circuit, electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, diodes, and transistors are formed directly onto the surface of a silicon crystal. ... Even before the first IC was developed, it was known that common electronic components could be made from silicon.

Semiconductor devices are electronic components that exploit the electronic properties of semiconductor materials, principally silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide, as well as organic semiconductors. Semiconductor devices have replaced thermionic devices (vacuum tubes) in most applications.

The same dopants are used for both silicon and germanium semiconductors. Silicon atoms have four electrons which can be shared in covalent bonds with neighboring atoms. Silicon is the principal component of common sand, and for this reason it is less expensive than other intrinsic semiconductor materials.
