A semiconductor strain gauge has a much larger gauge factor than a metallic one because of
Answer: B
Straining a semiconductor alters the mobility of its carriers, so the resistivity changes by far more than the geometry does. That gives gauge factors above a hundred, but the effect is nonlinear and strongly temperature dependent, so a metallic gauge is preferred for accurate work.
