Answer:

C. Q = +50 J, W = -50 J

Step-by-step explanation:

I was struggling with this one for a while, but I ended up getting it right!

It's Q = +50 J and W = -50 J, with Q representing the heat absorbed and W representing the work done ON the system. I'm not sure why this is correct, but it is. :)
