Consider a n-type semiconductor in which $n_e$ and $n_h$ are number of electrons and holes, respectively.
(A) Holes are minority carriers
(B) The dopant is a pentavalent atom
(C) $\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{h}} \neq \mathrm{n}_i^2$
(where n is number of electrons or holes in semiconductor when it is intrinsic form)
(D) $\mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{e}} \mathrm{n}_{\mathrm{h}} \geqslant \mathrm{n}_i^2$
(E) The holes are not generated due to the donors

Solution
(A) $n$ type semiconductor holes are minority carriers and $\mathrm{e}^{-}$are majority carriers
(B) Dopant are pentavalent atom.
(C) $n_c \cdot n_h=n_i^2$ for intrinsic semiconductor
(E) In $n$ type semiconductor primary source of holes generation are thermal excitation.
