Answer

D\text{D}

Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Define resistivity and conductivity.

    Resistivity (ρ\rho) is a measure of how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current.
    Conductivity (σ\sigma) is a measure of how easily electric current flows through a material.

  2. State the relationship between resistivity and conductivity.

    Conductivity is the reciprocal of resistivity.

    σ=1ρ\sigma = \frac{1}{\rho}
  3. Calculate the product of resistivity and conductivity.

    The product of resistivity and conductivity is ρ×σ\rho \times \sigma.
    Substitute the relationship from Step 2 into the product:

    ρ×σ=ρ×(1ρ)\rho \times \sigma = \rho \times \left(\frac{1}{\rho}\right) ρ×σ=1\rho \times \sigma = 1

    The product of resistivity and conductivity is always 1.

  4. Determine what the product depends on.

    Since the product is always 1, it is a constant and does not depend on any physical properties like cross-sectional area, temperature, or length.

    Comparing this with the given options:
    [A] अनुप्रस्थ परिच्छेद क्षेत्र (Cross-sectional area)
    [B] तापमान (Temperature)
    [C] लंबाई (Length)
    [D] इनमें से कोई नहीं (None of these)

    The product does not depend on options [A], [B], or [C]. Therefore, the correct answer is [D].

    The final answer is D\text{D}.
