Solution

The correct option is B Diodes
A diode is made up of semiconductors. Ohm's law says the current passing through a conductor is proportional to the potential difference across the conductor. In the case of a diode, the current through it does not linearly depend on the potential difference. Hence, diodes do not obey Ohm's law.
