Doping of silicon is achieved by the substitution of a different element for some of the silicon atoms. What type of semiconductor is shown below?

$($A$)$ It is a p$-$type semiconductor because the phosphorus atoms have one more electron than the silicon atoms.

$($B$)$ It is an n$-$type semiconductor because the phosphorus atoms have one more electron than the silicon atoms.

$($C$)$ It is an n$-$type semiconductor because phosphorus is a nonmetal, whereas silicon is a metalloid.

$($D$)$ It is a p$-$type semiconductor because phosphorus was substituted for silicon, rather than nitrogen being substituted for silicon.
