CONCEPT:

  • Conductor: An object in which charge can flow in one or more directions.
    • Materials made of metal are common electrical conductors.

EXPLANATION:

  • In the case of the conductor, the valance band and conduction band overlap with each other. So now there is an excess of electrons in the conduction band of it.
  • So, Resistance increases with an increase in temperature for conductors and vice versa.
  • Hence the correct answer is option 4.

Additional Information

  • Resistance decreases with an increase in temperature for semiconductors and vice versa.
