Solution
The correct option is DΩ.m Electrical resistivity is an intrinsic property that quantifies how strongly a given material opposes the flow of electric current.A low resistivity indicates a material that readily allows the movement of electric charge. Resistivity is commonly represented by the Greek letter ρ (rho).
ρ=R×AL
Hence from the above relation we can see that the SI unit of electrical resistivity is the ohm−meter(Ω−m).So correct option is D
