Solution

Resistance of a wire depends upon:

Length of wire: Resistance is directly proportional to the length of a wire.

Area of a cross-section of wire: Resistance is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section the wire.

The temperature of the wire: Resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the temperature of the wire.
