Answer should be A.
As we know that, the here expansion process is occurring. And also it is a closed process. So from graph of P-V you can see the maximum area covered is by ISOTHERMAL LINE.

The graph under the PV diagram for closed system gives the work. In the expansion region the graph of isotherm is above the graph of adiabatic curve, as the slope of adiabatic curve (gamma) is greater than that of isotherm curve. So the area under the isotherm is larger.

Only isothermal process exists in this question due to expansion process of a gas over a given pressure.
