Correct answer: B. non-linear resistors

  • A. insulators
  • B. non-linear resistors
  • C. carbon resistors
  • D. resistors with zero temperature coefficient

Explanation

A varistor is a voltage-dependent resistor whose resistance changes nonlinearly with applied voltage. It is commonly used for surge suppression, so it is not an ordinary fixed carbon resistor.
