                Option D is the right one.
Ohms law V=IR.
R=V/I = AREA x Length/I.
R depends on AREA and Length.

                Resistance is directly proportional to length and inversely proportional to area.

                The resistance of a conductor is given as R = pl/A
Where p = constant

                Here, Proportional means directly proportional.
Then answer is B.
                Then answer is B.

                It should be option B as R is proportional to the only l.

                R= ρ(L/A).
Where ρ is a constant.
