Solution

The correct option is A True
We know that, resistance R=ρlA, where l is the length of the wire, A is the area of cross-section of the conductor and ρ is the resistivity of the material.
Since the material and thickness is the same, it implies that both has the same cross-sectional area and resistivity.
Therefore with increase in length, the resistance of the material also increases.
