D Correct answer
Explanation

Semiconductors exhibit all these opto-electronic properties. Photoresistivity means resistance changes with light, photoconductivity means conductivity increases with illumination, and photoelectric currents are generated when light strikes the semiconductor. These properties make semiconductors essential for optoelectronic devices like solar cells and photodetectors.
