C Adiabatic compression
In isothermal processes, the system's temperature stays constant, whereas in adiabatic processes, there is no heat exchange between the system and its surroundings. Therefore, the amount of work performed on the system during adiabatic expansion is equal to the system's internal energy drop, and the converse is true during adiabatic compression, where the amount of work performed on the system is equal to the system's internal energy rise. Since internal energy directly relates to temperature, an ideal gas's temperature rises in an adiabatic compression because:n.
