Solution

The correct option is C Adiabatic expansion
In a Carnot's cycle, isothermal expansion is followed by adiabatic expansion. During the process of adiabatic expansion the system is thermally insulated.

The gas continues to expand and does work on surrounding at the expense of its internal energy which causes a reduction in temperature of system.
