Solution
The correct option is A Both Assertion and Reason are correct and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion The resistance of semiconductor decreases with a rise in temperature because of negative temperature coefficient of resistance. The reason being, on raising the temperature, more charge carriers are released, conductance increases and resistance decreases.
So, both assertion and reason are correct and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
