An electric toaster uses nichrome for its heating element. When connected to a \( 230 \text{ V} \) supply, the current settles at \( 2.68 \text{ A} \) at room temperature (\( 27.0^\circ\text{C} \)) with a resistance of \( 75.3\ \Omega \). When the steady temperature is reached, the current is \( 2.68 \text{ A} \) initially but if resistance rises, current changes. What determines the final steady resistance \( R_2 \) when connected to \( 230 \text{ V} \)?

1. A
   \( 75.3\ \Omega \)
2. B
   \( 85.8\ \Omega \)
3. C
   \( 65.2\ \Omega \)
4. D
   \( 95.0\ \Omega \)
