Solution
The correct option is D PTC thermistor There is abrupt increase in resistance of transducer after a certain temperature T. This is an attribute of self heating effect which is seen in thermisters. Also resistance of transducer increases with temperature so it has positive temperature coefficient. Note: Self heating effect is not present in RTD.
