Which outcome is likely when thermal vibrations excessively perturb a semiconductor crystal lattice at temperatures normally ensuring intrinsic behavior?

💡 Explanation

The band gap narrows as atomic spacing fluctuates excessively, causing thermal band gap narrowing because increased energy states appear within the previously forbidden zones. Therefore, the band gap is temperature dependent, rather than a transition to modified electron behavior or superconductivity.
