Solution

The correct option is D Resistance
Below is the graph representing the voltage and current in a conductor at constant temperature.
In this graph, the current I against the potential difference V, is a straight line with constant slope 1/R as the relation is linear and ohmic. However, practical resistors may exhibit non-linear behaviour under certain conditions for example, when exposed to high temperatures.
Hence, the slope represents the resistance of the circuit.
