At the point when GaAs is doped with Silicon, the two conceivable outcomes are possible,
i) Silicon can supplant Gallium
(ii) Silicon can supplant Arsenic So, on the off chance that the Silicon replaces Gallium,
Silicon has one more electron. In this way, the additional electron is accessible for conduction. It will make it n-type.
finally, Silicon replaces Arsenic it has one less electron and it will make it p-type.
so answer is " A " is correct
that is,
(A) Silicon atoms act as p-type dopants in Arsenic sites and n-type dopants in Gallium sites
