Solution

The correct option is E I, II, and III
The expression of resistance of a wire is R=ρLA where ρ= resistivity of the material of the wire, L= length of the wire and A= cross sectional area of wire.
The resistivity is depends on the the material of wire of which it is made. So statement I is true.
The resistance is also depends on length L and diameter because the area A comes from diameter.
Thus, all statements are correct.
