A

Resistance of each increases

B

Resistance of each decreases

C

Resistance of copper increases whil that of germenium decreases

D

Resistance of copper decreases while that of germenium increases

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Resistance of conductors `(Cu)` decreases with decreas in temperature while that of semi-conductors `(Ge)` increases with decreases in temperature.
