Consider an ideal gas enclosed in a piston cylinder system.

So the energy equation for closed system is Q = delta(E)-W.

Similarly dQ = dU-dW....equation 1.

Now dU = Cp dT and dW = -PdV.

So dQ = Cp dT+RT dV/V.

Now integrating,

Q = integration of Cp dT+RT ln V2/V1.

So Q = integration of Cp dT....equation 2.

Now from equation 1,

dW = dU-dQ.

dW = Cp dT - Cp dT.

= 0.

So answer is A.

work =F dL ( force * change in length)
for constant volume ( constant length),
work = 0.

So A is correct.
