The relation PV = nRT holds for all ideal gases.The additional relation PVγ holds for an adiabatic process.The figure below shows two curves: one is an adiabat and one is an isotherm.Each starts at the same pressure and volume.Which statement is correct? (Note: "∝" means "is proportional to". ) 
A) Isotherm:
;Adiabat:
: A is both an isotherm and an adiabat.
B) Isotherm:
;Adiabat:
: B is an isotherm,A is an adiabat.
C) Isotherm:
;Adiabat:
: A is an isotherm,B is an adiabat.
D) Isotherm:
;Adiabat:
: B is both an isotherm and an adiabat.
E) cannot answer without additional information about the starting temperature.
