Solution;

Correct option is (a).

Explanation;

The first law of thermodynamics states that the energy balance occurs when a system undergoes the change of state or the process. It states that if energy is supplied to a system in a form of heat, then it can be completely converted into work energy. But practically it is not possible, because internal energy of the system also increases in the process. Thus, first law of thermodynamics does not provide information on whether the change of state or the process is feasible or not.
