$A$ semiconductor $X$ is made by doping a germanium crystal with arsenic $(Z=33)$. $A$ second semiconductor $Y$ is made by doping germanium with indium $(Z=49)$. The two are joined end to end and connected to a battery as shown. Which of the following statements is correct?

  • A
    $X$ is $P$-type,$Y$ is $N$-type and the junction is forward biased.
  • B
    $X$ is $N$-type,$Y$ is $P$-type and the junction is forward biased.
  • C
    $X$ is $P$-type,$Y$ is $N$-type and the junction is reverse biased.
  • D
    $X$ is $N$-type,$Y$ is $P$-type and the junction is reverse biased.
