  3. remain the same

  4. first increase and then decrease

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

We know V = IR, where V is the voltage, I is the current and R is the resistance. I is inversely proportional to R. So, if the resistance of a conductor is increased, current will decrease.
