Answer: Option B

Solution(By Examveda Team)

In free expansion there is no work done as there is no external external pressure. That's certainly true, in fact free expansion is an irreversible process in which a gas expands into an insulated evacuated chamber, you can think of it like ann container with a piston and the gas is left to expand in vacuum.
