Which of the following substances has an energy gap $(E_g)$ greater than $3 \ eV$?

Assertion: If the temperature of a semiconductor is increased,then its resistance decreases.
Reason: The energy gap between the conduction band and the valence band is very small.

Assertion : The resistivity of a semiconductor increases with temperature.
Reason : The atoms of a semiconductor vibrate with larger amplitude at higher temperatures,thereby increasing its resistivity.
