Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) Resistivity

Explanation

The ohm-metre (Ω·m) is the unit of resistivity (ρ), the property of a material that tells how strongly it opposes current. From ρ = RA/l, the unit is ohm × square metre ÷ metre = ohm-metre.

Resistance is measured in ohms, conductance in siemens and charge in coulombs.
