The correct answer is:
The resistance of a wire is related to its resistivity , length and cross-sectional area as:
As the length of wire increases, the cross-sectional area decreases. The cross-sectional area in terms of volume and length is
Taking the volume of wire constant,
So if is the resistance of wire after getting redrawn and is the initial resistance of wire,
