Answer:

option C

decreasing its thickness and increasing its temperature.

Step-by-step explanation:

Resistance is directly proportional to length and temperature of the wire and inversely to area.

if you increase the temperature the resistance will increase.(resistance is directly proportional to temperature)

if you decrease its thickness (area) then the resistance will increase ( resistance is inversely proportional to area)

hope it helps:)
