Solution

The correct option is B Statement-1 is true and Statement-2 is NOT the correct explanation for Statement-1
Semiconductors has negative temperature coefficient of resistance hence,statement 1 is true.
When temperature of a conductor is increased the energy of electrons and ions also increases. thus the collision between free electrons and ions increases with the increase of temperature. Hence statement 1 is correct and statement 2 is correct but statement 2 is not the correct explanation of statement 1 . so correct option is B
