A) capacitors
B) integrated circuits
C) semiconducting materials or semiconductors
D) transistors

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Silicon and germanium are both semiconducting materials, commonly used in the fabrication of electronic devices such as transistors, diodes, and integrated circuits. Options A and D are incorrect as capacitors and transistors are types of electronic components that use semiconductors. Option B is partially correct, as integrated circuits are made using semiconducting materials such as silicon and germanium, but it does not fully capture the nature of these materials.
