Solution

The correct option is B reversible adiabatic
In thermodynamics, an isoentropic process is an idealized thermodynamic process that is adiabatic and in which the work transfers of the system are frictionless; there is no transfer of heat or matter and the process is reversible. Hence, Entropy of a substance remains constant during reversible adiabatic change.
