Solution

The correct option is D

irreversible adiabatic


The above question can be rationalized as:

Explanation for correct option:

(D) The above process can be considered as Irreversible adiabatic because energy cannot be restored, if the process is sudden.

Explanation for Incorrect option:

(A) The above process can't be considered as reversible isothermal - it shows infinitely slow increase in volume at constant temperature.

(B) The above process can't be considered as irreversible isothermal: in this process the gas is allowed to expand slowly.

(C) The above process can't be considered as reversible isothermal: in this process there is no transfer of heat or matter.

Hence, option D is correct.
