Which outcome results when mismatched band gaps contact in series?

💡 Explanation

The different band gaps create a difference in Fermi levels, because charge must redistribute to align them, resulting in a potential barrier termed a Schottky barrier, therefore, choice A is correct rather than energy or movement effects.
