    Answer : Option A

    Explanation :

    The isentropic process is nothing but reversible adiabatic process since between the isothermal and adiabatic process the isothermal process has maximum area under P−V  diagram the isothermal process will have maximum work done during expansion. Since the slope of p−v   plot for adiabatic process is greater than isothermal process.
