The correct answer is:

AB is isothermal reversible expansion process i.e. ΔT=0 and S increases as there is increase in volume.



BC is adiabatic reversible expansion process qrev=0 i.e. temperature decreases and ΔS=0



CD is isothermal reversible compression process i.e. ΔT=0 and S decreases as there is decrease in volume.



DA is adiabatic reversible compression process qres=0 i.e. temperature decreases and ΔS=0
