Correct Answer: Nichrome


Solution : The correct option is Nichrome .

Resistivity is sometimes referred to as a material's specific resistance. It can be defined as the resistance of a specific conductor (material) of a given size (length and cross-sectional area). Because of its high resistance, which fights the passage of current and generates a lot of heat, Nichrome has the highest resistivity and demonstrates the heating influence of electricity. As a result, it is used as a heating coil in a wide range of household appliances, including room heaters, water heaters, ovens, heating rods, and so on.
