Adiabatic process is that process in which heat of a closed system will remain conserved or we can say that system can not exchange its thermal energy from its surrounding

So here from 1st law of thermodynamics we can say


\Delta Q = \Delta U + W

since we know that


\Delta Q = 0

so we will have


0 = \Delta U + W

so we have


-\Delta U = W

so here correct answers are

A. -ΔU = W

B. Heat is constant.
