At room temperature, a p-type semiconductor has (a) large number of holes and few electrons (b) large number of free electrons and few holes (c) equal number of free electrons and holes (d) no electrons or holes

Answer: (a). A p-type semiconductor is doped with a trivalent impurity that creates holes. So holes are majority carriers and electrons are minority carriers. So the answer is (a) large number of holes and few electrons.
