    The correct answer is option a. 400J

    Explanation:

    Hello!

    Let's solve this!

    To know if the work is positive or negative we have to know the following:

    The work is positive when the gas performs (expansion)

    The work is negative when done outside on the gas (compression)

    In this case the work is done by the gas, so it is positive.

    The correct answer is option a. 400J
