Answer:

A. a warm wire

Step-by-step explanation:

A warm wire has the most resistance. Heating the metal wire causes atoms to vibrate more, which in turn makes it more difficult for the electrons to flow, increasing resistance. Heating the wire increases resistivity.

hope this helps, have a good day : )
