Answer: B

Zener diode is always reverse biased.

In all metals
A:
conductivity decreases with increase in temperature
B:
current flow by electrons as well as by holes
C:
resistivity decreases with increase in temperature
D:
the gap between valence and conduction bands is small
Answer: A

In all metals conductivity decreases (and resistance increases) with increase in temperature.
