Solution

The correct option is A 1
First law of thermodynamics states that energy is conserved. Direct consequence of this statement is U is state function. This implies between any two fixed state, there can be infinite process or path, but ΔU in all process will remain the same.(Property of a function of state).
The major limitation of the first law of thermodynamics is, its inability to deal with the direction of the process and the extent of change.
