Carbon, silicon and germanium atoms have four valence electrons each. Their valence and conduction bands are separated energy band gaps represented (Eg)C,(Eg)Si\left(E_g\right)_C,\left(E_g\right)_{S i}(Eg​)C​,(Eg​)Si​, and (Eg)Ge\left(E_g\right)_{G e}(Eg​)Ge​ respectively. Which one of the following relationship is true in their case?

  1. A

    (Eg)C>Eg)Si\left.\left(\mathrm{E}_g\right)_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{E}_g\right)_{\mathrm{Si}}(Eg​)C​>Eg​)Si​

  2. B

    (Eg)C<Eg)Si\left.\left(\mathrm{E}_g\right)_{\mathrm{C}} < \mathrm{E}_g\right)_{\mathrm{Si}}(Eg​)C​<Eg​)Si​

  3. C

    (Eg)C=Eg)Si\left.\left(\mathrm{E}_g\right)_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{E}_g\right)_{\mathrm{Si}}(Eg​)C​=Eg​)Si​

  4. D

    (Eg)C>(Eg)Ge\left(\mathrm{E}_g\right)_{\mathrm{C}}>\left(\mathrm{E}_g\right)_{\mathrm{Ge}}(Eg​)C​>(Eg​)Ge​
