Wires P and Q have the same resistance at ordinary (room) temperature. When heated, resistance of P increases and that of Q decreases. We conclude that

1. P and Q are conductors of different materials

2. P is N-type semiconductor and Q is P-type semiconductor

3. P is semiconductor and Q is conductor

4. P is conductor and Q is semiconductor
