Correct answer: D

  1. For a wire, R=ρLAR = \rho \frac{L}{A}R=ρAL​ where ρ\rhoρ is resistivity, LLL is length, and AAA is cross-sectional area.

  2. When the wire is stretched, its volume remains constant: AL=constantAL = \text{constant}AL=constant

  3. The new length is given as: L′=5LL' = 5LL′=5L

  4. Since volume is constant, A′L′=ALA' L' = ALA′L′=AL A′⋅5L=ALA' \cdot 5L = ALA′⋅5L=AL A′=A5A' = \frac{A}{5}A′=5A​

  5. New resistance: R′=ρL′A′R' = \rho \frac{L'}{A'}R′=ρA′L′​ Substitute L′=5LL' = 5LL′=5L and A′=A/5A' = A/5A′=A/5: R′=ρ5LA/5=25ρLA=25RR' = \rho \frac{5L}{A/5} = 25\rho \frac{L}{A} = 25RR′=ρA/55L​=25ρAL​=25R

  6. Given original resistance R=5 ΩR = 5\,\OmegaR=5Ω, R′=25×5=125 ΩR' = 25 \times 5 = 125\,\OmegaR′=25×5=125Ω

  7. Therefore, the correct option is: D  :  125 Ω\boxed{D\;:\;125\,\Omega}D:125Ω​
