Which one of the following statement is false?

Which one of the following statement is false?
  1. Pure Si doped with trivalent impurities gives a p-type semiconductor
  2. Majority carriers in a n-type semiconductor are holes
  3. Minority carriers in a p-type semiconductor are electrons
  4. The resistance of intrinsic semiconductor decreases with increase of temperature

Solution

p-type semiconductor are obtained by adding a small amount of trivalent impurity to a pure sample of semiconductor (Ge). Majority charge carriers-holes Minority charge carriers-electrons n-type semiconductor are obtained by adding a small amount of pentavalent impurity to a pure sample of semiconductor $(\mathrm{Ge})$. Majority charge carriers-electrons The resistance of intrinsic semiconductors decreases with increase of temperature.
