Which option correctly distinguishes between resistance (R) and resistivity (ρ)?
(a) Both R and ρ depend on the shape and size of the conductor
(b) R depends on length and cross-sectional area, whereas ρ is a material property independent of dimensions
(c) Both R and ρ are material properties independent of dimensions
(d) R depends only on the material, whereas ρ depends on length and area
