For tuning circuit we need to vary the resistance and only varactor allows us to do so.

The answer is varactor only. Why because varactor diode means a variable capacitor or a variable resistor. So by using this varavtor diode we can tune the circuit by varying respective parameter depending on requirement. It may be either capacitor or resistor.
