An ideal gas is made to undergo the cyclic process shown in the figure below. Let $\Delta W$ depict the work done,$\Delta U$ be the change in internal energy of the gas,and $Q$ be the heat added to the gas. The signs of each of these three quantities for the whole cycle will be ($0$ refers to no change):

  • A
    $-, 0, -$
  • B
    $+, 0, +$
  • C
    $0, 0, 0$
  • D
    $+, +, +$
