The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Conductivity \(\sigma=\frac{1}{\rho}\) and \(\rho=\frac{RA}{l}\), so \(\sigma=\frac{l}{RA}\).
\(R=\frac{V}{I}\) with \([V]=\mathrm{ML^2T^{-3}I^{-1}}\), hence \([R]=\mathrm{ML^2T^{-3}I^{-2}}\).
\([\sigma]=\frac{L}{\mathrm{ML^2T^{-3}I^{-2}}\cdot L^2}=\mathrm{M^{-1}L^{-3}T^{3}I^{2}}\).
Answer: (3) \(\mathrm{M^{-1}L^{-3}T^{3}I^{2}}\)
