The correct answer is: 1 Ω

We know VI, so V-I curve for a ohmic devices is a straight line passing through origin. Due to some errors/carelessness during experiments, all points may not come on the same line. In this situation, we draw the most appropriate curve.

From given V-I curve,
R=2.52.5=1 Ω
