Intrinsic & Extrinsic Semiconductors

For intrinsic semiconductor, if $n_h$ and $n_e$ represent the number of holes per unit volume and the number of free electrons per unit volume respectively then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Each electron that leaves a bond in a pure semiconductor leaves one hole behind.
So $n_h = n_e$ .
So the answer is (c).
