Solution
The correct option is A A We know that, for an isothermal process, PV = constant
For an adiabatic process, PVγ = constant
As γ>1, P will vary more in an adiabatic process than in an isothermal process on making the same change in volume. Thus, making the curve steeper in case of an adiabatic process.
