Solution

The correct option is D none of these
Helmholtz free energy is given by $A = U - T S$ where U=internal energy, T=temperature, S=entropy
Increasing temperature of the system will not decide whether helmholtz free energy will increase, decrease or not change as it depends on internal energy and entropy.
In the question it is not given that U and S are constant.
