The product of resistivity and conductivity of a cylindrical conductor depends on

The resistivity of a conductor is given by



Where


is the resistivity of the conductor


is the conductivity of the conductor


The product of resistivity and conductivity is



The product of ρ and σ is unity. So it does not depends on anything. So option D is correct.
