    I believe the answer is shorter wires because there is less to travel

    Resistance, R = ρL / A

    where R = Resistance, ρ = constant called Resistivity, L = Length and A = Area,

    From the formula, above, the Resistance R would decrease if the length is small.

    So from the options, that correspond to:

    shorter wires
