Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

Resistance occurs when the flow of charge through a wire is hindered. Resistance of flow of charge increases where the cable length increases .In a longer cable the charge carriers and the atoms in the cable collide more resulting to higher resistance.

The correct answer choice is: False.

The first answer is incorrect because resistance to flow of charge in a cable has a direct relation with length of cable in that increase in length of conducting cable will result to increase in resistance to flow of charges through the cable, not decrease in resistance.
