- ✓Becomes bad conductor
- DHas maximum conductivity
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
Becomes bad conductor
c
(c)At zero Kelvin, there is no thermal agitation and therefore no electrons from valence band are able to shift to conduction band.

Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors, changes abruptly from a nonzero value to zero as their temperature is lowered below a critical temperature $T_c(0)$. An interesting property of superconductors is that their critical temperature becomes smaller than $T_c(0)$ if they are placed in a magnetic field, i.e., the critical temperature $T_c(B)$ is a function of the magnetic field strength $B$. The dependence of $T_c(B)$ on $B$ is shown in the figure. $Image$
