Solution

The correct option is C
R₃> R₂> R₁

Resistance is given by the slope of V-I graph.
Here the graph is I-V graph.
So, resistance is given by the inverse of the slope.
From the graph, the order of the slope is slope of R₁> slope of R₂> slope of R₃
Therefore order of resistance is R₃> R₂> R₁.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
