Consider a \(\mathrm{n\text-}\)type semiconductor in which \(\mathrm{n}_\mathrm{e}\) and \(\mathrm{n_h}\) are number of electrons and holes, respectively.
\(\mathrm{A}.\) Holes are minority carriers
\(\mathrm{B}.\) The dopant is a pentavalent atom
\(\mathrm{C}.\) \(\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{h}} \neq \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{i}}^2\)
