option (c)

Explanation:

Option c is the correct i. e the statement given in the option c is true.

The above option is true because, when the external pressure is applied, the energy is being added to the system. Thus, the positive work is done. But when the system expands against that external pressure, the energy is being released i. e the being done is negative.
