Drift velocity=mE

vd=mΔV

V=Potential difference applied across the wire

As temperature increases, relaxation time decreases, hence Vd decreases.

As per formula, Vd1

Vd=IneA, as it is not mentioned that current is at steady state neither it is mentioned that n is constant for given conductor. So it can't be said that Vd is inversely proportional to A.

I=neAv=VR=VρℓAvd=Vρℓnn E=Vvd=eEτm

τ decrease with temperature increase.

First and fourth statements are correct.
