Which mechanism reduces conductivity within semiconductor strain gauges?

💡 Explanation

Piezoresistivity changes the band gap, altering the energy needed for electrons to enter the conduction band, thereby reducing conductivity, because applied stress modifies the interatomic spacing and electronic band structure; therefore A rather than B, because increased scattering affects mobility but is less dominant.
