Nichrome.... (not sure). Coz they have same resistance but resistivity of nichrome is higher ( Not sure coz it also depends on the length)

Edit : I used length instead of resistance. sry

anamika100403: that means resistivity is directly proportional to area of cross section?
Shishiraiyar: Ya because Resistance = (resistivity × area of cross section)/ length
anamika100403: ohk thnks

Nichrome wire will be more thicker coz nichrome conducts more electricity than copper and it is more costly than copper
