Temperature dependence of resistivity \rho (T) of semiconductors, insulators and metals is significantly based on the following factors:
A. number of charge carriers can change with temperature T.
B. time interval between two successive collisions can depend on T.
C. length of material can be a function of T.
D. mass of carriers is a function of T.

The correct answers are the options (a,b)

Explanation: Resistivity is a function of relaxation time(\tau ) and mass of charge carrier (m). Mass of charge carrier is independent of temperature, whereas length also does not fluctuate significantly over a temperature range.
