Which mechanism causes increased electrical resistance nearing absolute zero?

💡 Explanation

Enhanced quantum tunneling increases resistance because, at extremely low temperature, electrons can tunnel through increasingly substantial band gaps in materials, thereby decreasing conductivity; therefore, tunneling is increased rather than scattering, mobility increase, or Cooper pair mechanisms.
