The quantities which are path functions and not the state function, i.e the quantity which depends on the path and not on the final stage, have inexact differential.
Among the given functions, only work is the path function
Hence The differential of work quantity is inexact
Hence the answer will be option C work
Rest of the 3 functions are state dependent functions
hence the differential of those quantity is exact.
