CONCEPT:
  • On the basis of the relative values of electrical conductivity (s) or resistivity, the solids are broadly classified as:
  1. Metals: They possess very high conductivity or low resistivity.
  2. Semiconductors: They have conductivity or resistivity intermediate to metals and insulators.
  3. Insulators: They have high resistivity (or low conductivity).

EXPLANATION:

  • Semiconductors have resistivity between metals and insulators.
  • By doping an intrinsic semiconductor, we can modulate its electrical properties.
  • So the correct answer is option 1.
