Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

We know value of ${C_v}$ is independent of volume (V) and depends in T i.e.at a constant temperature for any given value of V we have same value of ${C_v}$.

So the graph between C_v and V will be parallel to X-axis.Similarly the value of ${C_p}$ is independent of P and depends on T

i.e. at constant temperature for any given value of P we have same value of ${C_p}$ .So, we can say graph b is incorrect.

Also at higher temperatures, the rotational degree of freedom becomes active. So, with the increase in temperature the internal energy and heat capacity increases.
