Which is the correct relation for the forbidden energy gap in a conductor,semiconductor,and insulator?

  • A
    $ \Delta E_{g, \text{conductor}} > \Delta E_{g, \text{semiconductor}} > \Delta E_{g, \text{insulator}} $
  • B
    $ \Delta E_{g, \text{insulator}} > \Delta E_{g, \text{semiconductor}} > \Delta E_{g, \text{conductor}} $
  • C
    $ \Delta E_{g, \text{conductor}} > \Delta E_{g, \text{insulator}} > \Delta E_{g, \text{semiconductor}} $
  • D
    $ \Delta E_{g, \text{semiconductor}} > \Delta E_{g, \text{conductor}} > \Delta E_{g, \text{insulator}} $
