Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adiabatic process is a process in which there is no transfer of heat between a system and its surroundings. Therefore, the absence of heat exchange (option C) is the defining characteristic of an adiabatic process. The other options (A, B, D, and E) are not necessarily absent in an adiabatic process. For example, there can be a change in pressure or temperature during the process, but such changes are not due to heat exchange.
