Solution

The correct option is A

True


Resistance, R=ρlA
where ρ is the resistivity of the material, l is the length of the material and A is the area of cross-section.

Resistivity of a material is the electrical resistance offered by unit length and unit cross-sectional area of that material.

This implies that resistivity depends on the material.

Since the resistance of a material depends on resistivity, we can say that resistance of a material depends on the material.
