When no heat enters or leaves, $\Delta Q =0$
Therefore, $\Delta U = W$
Hence, it is an incorrect option.
Option:$B$
It is given $\Delta U = Q + W$, So, workisdoneonthegas.
Hence, it is also an incorrect option.
Option:$C$
$\Delta U = nC _v \Delta T$
Since Temperature is constant,
$\Delta U =0$

    An ideal gas is undergoing a cyclic thermodynamic process in different ways as shown in the corresponding $P$ $V$ diagrams in column $3$ of the table. Consider only the path from state $1$ to $2 . W$ denotes the corresponding work done on the system. The equations and plots in the table have standard notations as used in thermodynamic processes. Here $\gamma$ is the ratio of heat capacities at constant pressure and constant volume. The number of moles in the gas is $n$.

    One mole of ideal gas taken through a cycle process with alternate isothermal and adiabatic curves. In $P-V$ diagram $AB, CD, EF$ are isothermal curves at the absolute temperature $T_1, T_2$ and $T_3$ respectively and $BC, DE$ and $FA$ are adiabatic curves respectively. If $\frac{{{V_B}}}{{{V_A}}} = 2,\,\frac{{{V_D}}}{{{V_C}}} = 2$ then for cycle is shown in figure four statements are being made given below. (Figure is not drawn on scale) 

    Statement $1$ : Ratio of volumes $\frac{{{V_E}}}{{{V_F}}} = 4$

    Statement $2$ : Magnitude of work done in isothermal compression $EF$ is $2RT_3\ ln\ (2)$

    Statement $3$ : Ratio of heat supplied to gas in the process $AB$ to heat rejected by gas in process $EF$ is $\frac{{{T_1}}}{{2{T_3}}}$

    Statement $4$ : Net work done by gas in the cycle $ABCDEFA$ is $(T_1 + T_2 - 2T_3) R\  ln\ (2)$
