B, c, obtained from formula ①: UBC = e 1+rcor? ② To improve the sensitivity of gas sensor, the following methods can be adopted: increasing the electromotive force of power supply (the voltage between alternating currents) or increasing the resistance value of rheostat R, therefore, B is wrong and C is correct;
D, from ②, it can be seen that if the voltage between AC decreases, the resistance of R needs to be increased to make the gas sensor work normally, so D is wrong.
So choose: C.
