Answer : 1. "heating resistance"
Explanation :
The correct answer is Resistance Heating. Resistance heating is based on the I2R effect and is highly resistive in nature that's why it has the maximum power factor. Electric resistance heating is defined as “the heat produced by passing an electric current through a material that preferably has high resistance”.

Answer : 2. "increases"
Explanation :
At high temperatures, the tungsten filament gets hot and atoms in the filament vibrate more. The electrons in the current now collide more with the atoms & more energy is needed to push the current through the filament. Hence, the resistance of tungsten increases with temperature.

- SingleChoice
Answer : 4. "oxygen and acetylene"
Explanation :
Acetylene is the only fuel gas suitable for gas welding because of its favourable flame characteristics of both high temperature and high propagation rates. Other fuel gases, such as propane, propylene or natural gas, produce insufficient heat input for welding but are used for cutting, torch brazing and soldering.
