Answer: (d)

Solution: 
Resistivity of material does not depend on length, thickness and shape of the material.
Electrical resistivity of a given metallic wire depends on number density of free electrons in the conductor,
which is the nature of the material.
p\alpha \frac{1}{n}
where, n = number of free electrons per unit volume.
Electrical resistivity also depends on the temperature of conductor.
Therefore, option (d) is correct.
