(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

From the given pictures, the material that relates to it has to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Semiconductor: A material which can conduct electricity in range between a metal and an insulator is known as semiconductor.  Addition of small amount of impurities increases conductivity of semiconductor and the process is known as doping.  n-type and p-type are two types of doped semiconductors.

n-type: This is a type of doped semiconductor in which many free electrons are present in conduction band.

p-type: This is a type of doped semiconductor in which holes are present in conduction band.

Insulator: Insulators are one, in which electrons are filled in valence band with a vacant conduction band and they are parted away by band gap.
