The correct answer should be the option a - True.
Band bending is a term used to refer the local changes that occur in the energy offset in the band structure of a semiconductor near a junction. This occurs due to space charge effects. It is due to a local imbalance in the charge neutrality.
A Band diagram allows visualization of Fermi level and the electron energy states of a material by drawing bands on a plot showing energy vs distance values. The bending that is observed in these graphs are called as Band bending.
A charge imbalance can occur at the junction of 2 different types of the same semiconductor like the p - n junction. The bands will vary continuously as the dopants are distributed sparsely and that will only cause an imbalance in the system.
