Answer:

Correct option is

C

Work

Temperature, density, volume and pressure are state functions.
They are intrinsic properties of the system. Their values  depend on initial and final state only and are independent of path followed.
On the other hand, work is a path function. It is not an state function. Its value depends on the path followed.
