Answer:

A. the decrease in current flow due to electrons colliding with metal atoms

Step-by-step explanation:

An electric current flows when electrons move through a conductor, such as a metal wire. The moving electrons can collide with the ions in the metal. This makes it more difficult for the current to flow, and causes resistance.
