- AThe notion that it is a whole lot easier to keep track of the missing particles in an "almost-full" band.
- BThe keeping track of the actual electrons in that band.
- CThe charge of holes
- DNone of the above
Explanation:
The concept of holes was introduced so as to occupy the empty spaces left by the missing electron. For example, in a valence band, when an electron jumps from valence to conduction band, an empty space is created in valence band which is occupied by a hole.
