Detailed Solution

In case of semiconductors as temperature increases electrons jump to conduction band resistance decreases Rαρ(Resistivity) so resistivity also decreases and current increases.

Vibration of electrons increases with rise in temperature and hence collision between ions and electrons increases with temperature.
