The correct answer is: external work done by the system
For isothermal process, $\Delta T=$ constant As we know that, from first law of thermodynamics,
$\Delta Q=\Delta U+\Delta W=n C_V \Delta T+\Delta W$
$\Rightarrow \quad \Delta Q=\Delta W \quad[\because \Delta T=0]$
Hence, heat supplied to an ideal gas under isothermal condition will result in external work done by the system.
