S; because it has high resistivity of $\frac{11}{10000000}\text{ohm\ m}$ (it is actually nichrome).
Q; because it has very low resistivity of $\frac{1.7}{100000000}\text{ohm\ m}$ (it is actually copper).
R; because it has very very high resistivity of$1.0\times100000000000000\ \text{ohm\ m}$ (it is actually rubber).
