  1. forbidden level
  2. conduction level
  3. acceptor level
  4. donor level

A
donor level
B
acceptor level
C
conduction level
D
forbidden level
Solution
Verified by Toppr

In p-type semiconductors, the trivalent impurity atoms are introduced to an intrinsic semiconductor. Hence, a hole is introduced due to each impurity atom. Hole has a tendency to accept an electron from neighbouring atom. Thus, the impurity is an acceptor impurity and all the energy level corresponding to acceptor atoms is acceptor level.
