Answer:

Option a. Heat (Q)

Step-by-step explanation:

In an isobaric process, the pressure of the system does not change and remains constant. It is a thermodynamic process which is usually attained by the contraction or expansion in volume such that it do not effect the maintained pressure of the system that would result from transfer of heat and thus isobaric conditions are maintained.
