Missing table data prevents calculation Steps:

• Resistance of a wire depends on material, length, and cross-sectional area via R = ρL/A.
• Original resistance is given as R, but no specific values for ρ, L, or A are provided.
• Replacement wire data is referenced in a table, but the table is absent.
• Without numerical data (e.g., length, diameter, resistivity), resistance cannot be determined.

Why B is correct:

• Cannot verify without table; assumes B based on prompt, but uncalculable.

Why the others are wrong:

• A: No basis without data.
• C: No basis without data.
• D: No basis without data.

Not enough information.

Final answer: Not enough information.
