In a semiconductor,the number densities of electrons and holes are $8 \times 10^{18} \ m^{-3}$ and $5 \times 10^{18} \ m^{-3}$ respectively. If the mobilities of electrons and holes are $2.3 \ m^2/V \cdot s$ and $0.01 \ m^2/V \cdot s$ respectively,then the semiconductor is:

  • A
    $N$-type and its resistivity is $0.34 \ \Omega \cdot m$
  • B
    $P$-type and its resistivity is $0.034 \ \Omega \cdot m$
  • C
    $N$-type and its resistivity is $0.034 \ \Omega \cdot m$
  • D
    $P$-type and its resistivity is $3.4 \ \Omega \cdot m$
