Solution

The correct option is A True
Conductance and Resistance are reciprocals to each another. G=1R
R=ρA,G=δA.
where {\displaystyle \ell } l is the length of the conductor, measured in meters [m], A is the cross-sectional area of the conductor measured in square meters [m2],δ (sigma) is the electrical conductivity measured in Siemens per meter
(Sm1), and ρ (rho) is the electrical resistivity (also called specific electrical resistance) of the material, measured in ohm-meters (Ωm). The resistivity and conductivity are proportionality constants, and therefore depend only on the material the wire is made of, not the geometry of the wire.
