Which outcome results when crystal lattice defects limit electron movement?

A)Increased electrical resistance occurs
B)Enhanced thermal conductivity emerges
C)Increased Hall effect sensitivity
D)Improved piezoelectric response develops

💡 Explanation

Increased electrical resistance results due to electron scattering, as umklapp scattering impedes electron flow against lattice imperfections. Electrical resistance rises because this mechanism restricts electron mobility, therefore conductivity lowers, rather than enhances the other processes, affecting electron interactions.
