Statement $(I)$: Specific resistance depends on the nature of the material and is independent of the temperature of the material.
Statement $(II)$: $A$ wire of resistance $6 \ \Omega$ is drawn out so that its new length is four times its original length. The resistance of the new wire is $48 \ \Omega$.
Statement $(III)$: Drift velocity is the average constant velocity acquired by free electrons inside a metal by the application of an electric field,which results in current.
