Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A thermistor is a device that:
A
Always has a fixed resistance
B
Has a resistance that changes due to the amount of light acting upon it.
C
Has a resistance in one direction only.
D
Has a resistance that changes due to the amount of thermal energy acting upon it.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Thermistors are thermally sensitive resistors whose prime function is to exhibit a large, predictable and precise change in electrical resistance when subjected to a corresponding change in body temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Temperature & Resistance An increase in temperature causes an increase in resistance. A decrease in temperature causes a decrease in resistance.
