Solution

The correct option is D R>0, r can be negative, zero or positive
Ohmic resistance always show a positive value of resistance.
Ex: Copper
Non-ohmic conductors may have a positive dynamic resistance. In such a case, slope>0.
Ex: Diode
Non-ohmic conductors may have a negative dynamic resistance. In such a case, slope<0.
Ex: DIAC.
