The correct option is B
Both statement 1 and 2 are CORRECT but statement 2 is NOT THE CORRECT explanation of the statement 1

Resistance of a wire depends on the resistivity, length and area of cross section. Bending has no effect on it. Also, Statement 2 does not explain why bending has no effect on resistance
