Right option is (b) False

The explanation: A pure semiconductor is called an intrinsic semiconductor. Hence, in this case, the number of electrons and holes are same, as the electron that moves out of its position leaves a hole behind. Hence, the concentration of holes and electrons is the same in an intrinsic semiconductor.
