The conductivity of a semiconductor increases with increase in temperature, because
(a) Number density of free current carries increases
(b) Relaxation time increases
(c) Both number density of carries and relaxation time increase
(d) Number density of carries increases, relaxation time decreases but effect of decrease in relaxation time is much less than increase in number density
