C Correct answer
Explanation

Silicon is a semiconductor because its electrical conductivity is between that of conductors (like metals) and insulators (like ceramics). Its conductivity can be controlled by doping, making it essential for modern electronics. Silicon is neither a good conductor nor a good insulator in its pure form.
