Answer
Option -A
P-V diagram
Work Step by Step
The initial and final states of the system can be represented on the PV diagram as distinct points. These points show the pressure and volume of the system at the start and end of the process.
Unlike reversible processes, the path between the initial and final states in an irreversible process is not typically shown on the PV diagram. This is because the process does not follow a smooth, continuous trajectory of equilibrium states. The exact path is not easily determined due to the nature of irreversible changes.
