A gas is compressed isothermally to half its initial volume. The same gas is compressed separately through an adiabatic process untill its volume is again reduced to half. Then

A

compressing the gas through adiabatic process will require more work to be done.

B

compressing the gas isothermally or adiabatically will require the same amount of work.

C

which of the case (whether compression through isothermal or through adiabatic process) reequires more work will depend upon the atomicity of the gas.

D

compressing the gas isothermally will require more work to be done
