Solution

The correct option is D q
State variables : To define a thermodynamics states of a system, we have to specify the values of certain mesurable quantities. These are called thermodynamic variable or state variable.
A system can be completely defined by four variables namely pressure, temperature, volume and composition. A system is said to be in a certain definite state when all of its properties have definite value.
Between two fixed state the change in the value of state function is same irrespective of the path connection two states.
Differential of a state function integerated over a cyclic path returns zero.
In other words summation of change in state function in a cyclic process is equal to zero.
Example : T, V, P and U (internal energy), H (enthalpy), S are state variables.
