B)it remains at a constant temperature.
C)it loses no heat to its surroundings and gains none from them.
D)its total energy increases.
E)it does no work on its surroundings.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adiabatic process means no exchange of heat between the system and surroundings. Hence, the correct option is C. Option A refers to an isothermal process, Option B refers to an isochoric process, Option D contradicts the concept of energy conservation, and Option E refers to an isobaric process.
