Correct Answer: Option D
Explanation

R = \(\frac{ \rho \times L}{A}\), \(\rho\) = \(\frac{R . A}{L}\)

d = 1mm = 0.001m, r = 0.0005m 

A = \(\pi\)r\(^2\) = \(\frac{22}{7}\) x (0.0005)\(^2\) = 7.857 x 10\(^{-7}\)

\(\rho\) = \(\frac{R . A}{L}\) = \(\frac{0.1 \times 7.857 \times 10^{-7}}{2}\)

\(\rho\) = 3.928 x 10\(^{-8}\)\(\Omega\)m

There is an explanation video available below.
