The correct answer is: nRT0V0
For adiabatic process :

Bulk modulus :  B = γ  P

For point P : P = nRT V = nR 3 T 0 3 V 0 = nRT 0 V 0

⇒                B = γ nRT 0 V 0              ...(i)

Now,  TV γ - 1 = constant

⇒    γ - 1 TdV + VdT = 0

⇒    dV dT = - V γ - 1 T

For point P   →     - 3 V 0 3 T 0 = - 3 V 0 γ - 1 3 T 0

⇒    γ = 2

So, from Eq. (i), B = 2 nRT 0 V 0
