detailed solution

Correct option is D

In adiabatic process. 110 heat is allowed to enter or leave the system, i.e. q = 0 Substituting this value in first law of thermodynamics.ΔE=q+W we get ΔE=WIn adiabatic expansion, work is done by the system on the surroundings hence W is negative. Accordingly , ∆E is also negative. i.e. internal energy decreases. In adiabatic compression. W is positive, ∆E is also positive
