directly proportional to L.
directly proportional to t.
independent to L.
independent of t.

Explanation

The sheet is of square shape with thickness t, width $$\omega$$ = L, and length l = L. The resistance between the two opposite faces is given by

$$R = {{\rho l} \over A} = {{\rho l} \over {wt}} = {{\rho L} \over {Lt}} = {\rho \over t}$$.
