$I-V$ characteristic of a copper wire of length $L$ and area of cross-section $A$ is shown in the figure. The slope of the curve becomes

  • A
    More if the experiment is performed at a higher temperature
  • B
    More if a wire of steel of the same dimension is used
  • C
    More if the length of the wire is increased
  • D
    Less if the length of the wire is increased
