In following figures $(a)$ to $(d)$, variation of volume by change of pressure is shown in figure. The gas is taken along the path $A B C D A$. Change in internal energy of the gas will be .......

A
Positive in all cases from $(a)$ to $(d)$
B
Positive in cases $(a), (b)$ and $(c)$ but zero in case $(d)$
C
Negative in cases $(a), (b)$ and $(c)$ but zero in case $(d)$
D
Zero in all the four cases
Solution
(d)
$\Delta U=0$ in all cases because cyclic process.
