The resistivity of iron is $1 \times 10^{-7} \, \Omega \cdot m$. The resistance of an iron wire of a particular length and thickness is $1 \, \Omega$. If the length and the diameter of the wire are both doubled, then the resistivity in $\Omega \cdot m$ will be:

  • A
    $1 \times 10^{-7}$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^{-7}$
  • C
    $4 \times 10^{-7}$
  • D
    $8 \times 10^{-7}$
