When your Contrasting multiple objects, your looking for any differences that may or may not be their. Think Compare and Contrast if that helps, The answer to this is A
The text does not specify whether the resistance R of the wire must be kept the same or not: here I assume R must be kept the same.
The relationship between the resistance and the resistivity of a wire is

where

is the resistivity
A is the cross-sectional area
R is the resistance
L is the wire length
the cross-sectional area is given by

where r is the radius of the wire. Substituting in the previous equation ,we find

For the new wire, the length L is kept the same (L'=L) while the radius is doubled (r'=2r), so the new resistivity is

Therefore, the new resistivity must be 4 times the original one.
When heat energy is transferred from direct contact between a warm and a cold object , it is known as heat transfer by conduction.
In conduction, the heat transfer takes place within an object or between two objects in contact until the temperature becomes uniform. this kind of heat transfer continues until the temperature at two ends between which the heat transfer take place , becomes equal. Heat transfer takes place from point at high temperature to point at lower temperature.
Explanation:
that's impossible,the radius of the earth can't decrease when the mass doubles!
Vaporization of a sample of liquid is a phase transition from the liquid phase to the gas phase.
