It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Germanium". Ge is the symbol for the chemical element Germanium. Germanium is a hard, lustrous, gray-white metalloid with a high melting point. It is commonly used in semiconductor technology, infrared optics, and as a catalyst in the production of polyethylene terephthalate. Germanium is also used in electronic devices such as transistors and diodes. It was first isolated and identified in 1886 by Clemens Winkler.
