    Answer : Option B

    Explanation :

    Adiabatic compression means no heat is allowed to transfer so δQ=0   by first law we can say entire compression work done is used to raise the fluid internal temperature and hence if enough work is done the saturated water temperature raises and finally reaches the superheated state.
