Which mechanism changes resistivity in piezoresistive single crystal silicon?

💡 Explanation

Stress changes the band structure and effective mass because this influences the availability of energy states for charge carriers, resulting in a change in resistivity as demonstrated by the piezoresistive effect, therefore option A rather than changes due to phonon scattering, dopant compensation or grain distortions.
