    $A$. The drift velocity of electrons decreases with the increase in the temperature of conductor.

    $B$. The drift velocity is inversely proportional to the area of cross-section of given conductor.

    $C$. The drift velocity does not depend on the applied potential difference to the conductor.

    $D$. The drift velocity of electron is inversely proportional to the length of the conductor.

    $E$. The drift velocity increases with the increase in the temperature of conductor.
