Figure 1

In figure 1 there is one comparison between DC and AC models. In these pictures is sensitivity when temperature is changing.  In these pictures we can see comparison with DC and AC models. AC models are more sensitive but they can change less sensitive when temperature increases.

Below is all the information I could find about D5C sensor.
