Semiconductor elements are "doped" in order to
A) increase their electrical conductivity.
B) make them less susceptible to temperature changes.
C) eliminate the possibility of incomplete bonds.
D) make them electrically charged.

Doping involves adding impurities (atoms of a different element) to a semiconductor material in order to increase its electrical conductivity. These impurities can either donate electrons (n-type doping) or create holes that can accept electrons (p-type doping) in the material, making it easier for electric current to flow through it.
