For this case what you should know is the statement of the first law of thermodynamics.

By definition, we have to:

  • This law establishes that energy is not created, nor destroyed, but is conserved.
  • Then we have that when a certain system is subjected to a thermodynamic cycle, the heat given by the system will be equal to the work received by it, and vice versa.

In equation mode we have to:

[tex]Q-W = 0[/tex]

Where,

  1. Q: heat
  2. W: work done

Answer:

A) Energy can not be created or destroyed.
