Here, 1 point. Expanding of gas means volume is not const. The pressure is given, so we have a relation P inversely proportional to V. Pressure decreases therefore in this case temp didn't came into the picture because it is considered as constant variable. So the process is ISOTHERMAL.

An isentropic process implies an adiabatic and reversible process. Reversible work will produce your highest yield of available work so the answer is C.

I think that isentropic process will result maximum work for expansion process.

It is the special fact of isothermal.
