  The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy not created nor destroyed and the internal energy of the system is in constant change.
- C.
  
  The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy in the universe is conserved and the internal energy of the system changes due to work and heat flow to and from the surroundings.
- D.
  
  The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy is not created nor destroyed but the internal energy of the system is changing because heat is always flowing.
- E.
  
  The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy in the universe is conserved and the internal energy of the system changes due to work and heat constantly flowing to the surroundings.
11.
