please answer only c part . thanks

Fig. 4.1 shows a potential divider circuit that operates a light bulb rated 25 W 5 V. The
potential divider is made up of two identical fixed resistors R, a thermistor and a variable
resistor. Each resistor R has a resistance of 100 kQ. The variable resistor can vary over
a range of 1000-100 MQ. The thermistor also has a range of 100 Q-100 MQ.

What is the role of the thermistor in the circuit?
It is used to vary the potential at point A at different temperatures.
(b)
Describe the use of the variable resistor in this circuit.
It is used to vary the potential at point B at different temperatures.
As a result, it can be used to control the potential difference between A
and B thereby adjusting the brightness of the bulb at different
temperatures.
(c)
State th esistance of the thermistor for the light bulb to work optimally when the
