Answer:
D. crystalline solid that conducts current under certain conditions
Step-by-step explanation:
Semiconductors are crystalline solids that has the ability to conduct electrical currents but on certain conditions e.g heat. The conduction of semiconductors is less than that of conductors (metals) but more than insulators (nonmetals), hence, they are said to be intermediates of conductors and insulators in terms of electrical conductivity.
Examples of semiconductors are silicon, boron, carbon, germanium, arsenic etc.
