    Initial state only
  • B
    Final state only
  • C
    Both initial and final states only
  • Initial state, final state and the path

Answer

Correct option: D.
Initial state, final state and the path
d
(d)Work done $ = \int_{\,1}^{\,2} {\,PdV} $, which is state dependent as well as path dependent.
