This question involves the concepts of resistivity, cross-sectional area, and resistance.

The statement which correctly describes the resistivity of a wire is, "Resistivity depends on the material the wire is made from and has units of ohm-meters".

The resistivity of a material is defined as the resistance per unit length per unit cross-sectional area of a material. It is found experimentally that the resistance of a conductor is directly proportional to its length ‘L’ and inversely proportional to its cross-sectional area ‘A’.

[tex]R\ \ \alpha\ \ \frac{L}{A}\\\\R=\rho\frac{L}{A}[/tex]

where ρ is a constant called ‘Resistivity’.

The S.I unit of resistivity is clear from the equation, which is equal to:

[tex]\Omega=\rho\frac{m}{m^2}\\\\\rho = \Omega.m[/tex]

So, the S.I unit of resistivity is Ohm-meters.
