Solution

The correct option is C 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics.
1st law of Thermodynamics-
The first law of thermodynamics is a version of the law of conservation of energy, adapted for thermodynamic system. The law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant; energy can be transformed from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed.

2nd law of Thermodynamics-
The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system never decreases, because isolated systems spontaneously evolve toward thermodynamic equilibrium state of maximum entropy.
