- mass of carriers is a function of T.

उत्तर
a and b
Explanation:
Resistivity is the intrinsic property of the substance. For a metallic conductor, resistivity is given by
`ρ = m/("ne"^2τ)`
Where n is the number of charge carriers per unit volume (number density) which can charge with temperature T and τ is relaxation time (time interval between two successive collisions) which decreases with the increase of temperature `(T oo 1/τ)`.
