Which outcome results when high stress deforms a metallic lattice?

💡 Explanation

Increased resistance appears because **phonon scattering** increases due to dislocations in the deformed lattice reducing electron mean free path; therefore resistivity rises; rather than enhanced conductivity, distortion actually hinders electron flow.
