  2. The top of the conduction band

  3. The bottom of the valence band

  4. The bottom of the conduction band

  5. None of these

A Correct answer
Explanation

As we increase the concentration, fermi level goes downwards from the middle, which will be the top of the valence band. At high temperature, p-type and n-type act as intrinsic semiconductors.
