Consider a long rectangular bar of direct bandgap p-type semiconductor. The equilibrium hole density is 1017 cm$$-$$3 and the intrinsic carrier concentration is 1010 cm$$-$$3. Electron and hole diffusion lengthss are 2 $$\mu$$m and 1 $$\mu$$m, respectively. The left side of the bar (x = 0) is uniformly illuminated with a laser having photon energy greater than the bandgap of the semiconductor. Excess electron-hole pairs are generated ONLY at x = 0 because of the laser. The steady state electron density at x = 0 is 1014 cm$$-$$3 due to laser illumination. Under these conditions and ignoring electric field, the closest approximation (among the given options) of the steady state electron density at x = 2 $$\mu$$m, is _____________.

A
0.37 $$\times$$ 1014 cm$$-$$3
B
0.63 $$\times$$ 1013 cm$$-$$3
C
3.7 $$\times$$ 1014 cm$$-$$3
D
103 cm$$-$$3
