- ASilver
- BMica
- CCopper
- DSilicon
✓
Answer
- Silicon
Explanation:
The resistivities of semiconductors lie between 10-6 Ωm and 104 Ωm. A semiconductor material has an electrical conductivity value falling between that of a conductor, such as metallic aluminum, and an insulator, such as wood. Silicon and germanium are typical semiconductors.
