Answer : The correct option is, (B) Germanium

Explanation :

As we know that the material are divided into three categories which are conductors, insulators and semiconductors.

Conductors : It is a type of substance which conduct electricity that means it allow the electrons to flow through them.

Example of conductors are, iron, aluminium, gold, etc.

Insulators : It is a type of substance which does not conduct electricity that means it does not allow the electrons to flow through them.

Examples of insulators are, glass, rubber, ceramics, etc.

Semiconductors : It is a type of substance which conduct electricity under certain conditions that means it allow the electrons to flow through them. The conductivity level of semiconductors lie between the conductors and the insulators.

The good examples of semiconductors are silicon, germanium, gallium, and selenium.

In the given options, aluminium, gold are the metals which conduct electricity and concrete is an insulator which do not conduct electricity while the germanium is the good semiconductor.

Hence, the correct option is, (B) Germanium

Proper environmental sanitation and the use of insecticides will prevent the spread of dengue fever virus.

<h3>What is a disease vector?</h3>

A disease vector is an organism which transmits pathogens to other organism.

Aedes aegypti mosquito is the vector for dengue fever. It transmits mosquito through its bite, thus introducing the virus into the blood.

The use of insecticides and the proper sanitation will help prevent the transmission of diseases.

At home, use of insecticide-treated nets will help prevent the spread of dengue fever.

Therefore, proper environmental sanitation and the use of insecticides will prevent the spread of dengue fever virus.

Answer: Complete dominance

Explanation: complete dominance occur when a dominant allele in heterozygous form completely mask the effect of the recessive allele.

For example a situation where Tt having two allele and allele T for tallness is dominant over t for shortness making the plant phenotype a Tall plant. This is called complete dominance.

A condition when the heterozygous allele do not completely expressed itself over the recessive allele is called Incomplete dominance.

For the plant to have a pigmented color in an heterozygous form the allen M for pigment is completely dominant over allele m for albino.
