A semiconductor `X` is made by dopping a germanium crystal with arsenic `(Z=33)`. A scond semiconductor `Y` is made by dopping 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, Yis p-type and the junction is forward biased

C

X is p-type Y is n-type and the junction is reverse biased
