3. Consider a n-type semiconductor whose $\mathrm{E}, = \mathrm{0}, \mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{C}}=\mathrm{2 . 0eV}$ and $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{D}}-\mathrm{1 . 98eV}$. The correct statement among the following is
(a)$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{F}}=\mathrm{leV}$ and is independent of T
(b)$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{F}}=\mathrm{1 . 99 ~ eV}$ and remains independent of T
(c)$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{F}}=\mathrm{1 . 99 ~ eV}$ and increases towards 2.0 eV with increase of T
(d)$\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{F}}=1.99 \mathrm{eV}$ and decreases with increase of T.
