Detailed Solution

Use the equation to get the wire's resistance. This equation explains the relationship between the wire's resistance, resistivity of the wire's material, length, and cross-sectional area.
The phrase for the wire's resistance is

R=ρLA (1) 
Here, L stands for the wire's length, R for its resistance, and A for its cross-sectional area and ρ is the substance of the wire's resistance.
The formula for the circle's surface area is
A=πr2 (2) 
Here, A denotes the circle's area, while r denotes its radius.

Given,

length of wire = 1m

radius of wire r=0.1mm=(0.1mm)(10-3m1mm)=10-3m

resistance of wire = 100Ω

Cross-sectional area of the wire A=(3.14)((0.1mm)(10-31mm))2=3.14×10-8m2 Resistivity ρ=RAL

ρ=(100Ω)(3.14×10-8m2)1m ρ=3.14×10-6Ω.m

Hence option C is the correct answer.
