(a) number of charge carriers can change with temperature \(T\).
(b) the 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 \(T\).

Which of the above statements is correct?

1. (a, b) 2. (c, d)
3. (b, c) 4. (b, d)
