Solution

The correct option is D Metalloids
A metalloid is any chemical element which has properties in between those of metals and nonmetals, or that has a mixture of them. Metalloids are semiconductors because they are neither good nor poor conductors. All the elements commonly recognised as metalloids have been used in the semiconductor or solid-state electronic industries.
