The correct answer is: the radii of the wires

The force between two current-carrying conductors can be given by 

FL=μ0I1I22πd

where,

F = force on each conductor

L = Length of the conductor

I1, I2= current in the conductors

d = distance between the conductors

Hence, we can say the force between two parallel current-carrying wires is independent of the radii of the wires.
