Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) I and IV

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Thermodynamic parameters which depend only on the initial and final states of system are called state functions, such as enthalpy \((I I=q+W)\), Cibb's free energy \((C=H-T S)\). Whereas, thermodynamic parameters which depend on the path by which the process is performed and not…
