Solution

The correct option is C Resistance
According to Ohm's law, the current passing through a conductor is proportional to the potential difference across it. The proportionality constant is named as the resistance.

Mathematically, it is represented as
$V \propto I \Rightarrow V = R I \Rightarrow R = \frac{V}{I}$

Hence, the ratio between the voltage drop and the current is the resistance.
