best_answer

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.
palpha frac1n
where, n = number of free electrons per unit volume.
Electrical resistivity also depends on the temperature of conductor.
Therefore, option (d) is correct.
