In an adiabatic process -----------------.
Correct answer: D. There is no transfer of heat
- A. Temperature remains constant
- B. Pressure remains constant
- C. Volume remains constant
- D. There is no transfer of heat
Explanation
In an adiabatic process, there is no transfer of heat between the system and the surroundings i.e. ∆Q = 0 .This statement truly describes an adiabatic process. Hence, option D is the correct option.

About First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law relates heat supplied, work done and the change in internal energy through energy conservation. Problems use sign conventions and apply the law to isothermal, adiabatic, isobaric and isochoric processes. Internal energy is a state function, while heat and work depend on the path followed.
