Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is true but reason is false
By first law of thermodynamics,
ΔU=Q+w (work done on the system )
where,
ΔU is change in internal energy
Q is heat transfered
w is workdone
Internal energy is a state function but Q and w are path functions.

Hence, option (c) is correct.
