Detailed Solution

As there is no accumulation of charges, the current through the conductor will be constant at every cross-section.
J=IA&vd=1neA
As cross-sectional area is changing, current density and drift velocity will change. For a length element dl,
dV=i(dR),dR=ρ(dl)A,E=dVdl
As area is varying, resistance will vary, due to which potential difference across the element will vary. Hence, the electric field will vary across the length.
