(b) n-type semiconductor
Explanation:
Silicon has four valence electrons. If it is doped with an electron rich impurity, the extra electron becomes delocalised and increases the conductivity.
Since the increase in conductivity is due to negatively charged electron, hence it is called n-type semiconductor.
