Semiconductor -
Energy gap between valence band and conduction band is less than 3 e.v.
- wherein
1) Delta E{g} lies between conductor & insulator 
2) Both electron and holes are responsible for conductivity .
3)    At 0 K behave like an insulator (Si,Ge)
 
 This properly corresponds to semiconductor. Bond formed by semiconductor is covalent in nature. 
Correct option is 3.
