A nichrome wire has resistance R at temperature T. If the wire is heated so its temperature increases by 20%, by approximately what percentage does its resistance change? (The temperature coefficient of resistivity for nichrome is $$4.0 \times 10^{-4}\,\text{K}^{-1}$$. Assume T is in kelvins.)

A

20%

B

$$0.008T \ \%$$, where $$T$$ is in kelvins

C

4.0%

D

0.08%
