The answer will be C because the intrinsic semiconductor has a negative temperature coefficient of resistivity and extrinsic semiconductor has a positive temperature coefficient of resistivity. But in the question, the nature of semiconductors is not mentioned. So the answer will be C may be positive or negative.
