Answer: D. Energy released from atoms.
Answer:

Explanation:
Given:
width of the wire, 
thickness of the flat wire, 
length of the wire, 
voltage across the wire, 
current through the wire, 
Now the net resistance of the wire:
using ohm's law



We have the relation between the resistivity and the resistance as:

where:
a = cross sectional area of the wire
resistivity of the wire material


Longitudinal waves occur when the medium is parallel to the distance of the wave.
