Correct Answer: p-type semiconductor


Solution : The correct answer is a p-type semiconductor.

Silicon doped with gallium forms a p-type (positive-type) semiconductor. When gallium is introduced as a dopant into silicon, it creates an excess of "holes," or positive charge carriers, in the silicon crystal structure. This results in a p-type semiconductor that conducts electricity with positive charge carriers; the n-type semiconductor conducts electricity with negative charge carriers (electrons).
