  1. ​Which of the following processes is reversible?​​​
    1. Transfer of heat by conduction ​
    2. Transfer of heat by radiation
    3. Isothermal compression
    4. ​Electrical heating of a nichrome wire
Correct Option: C

For a process to be reversible, it must be quasi-static. For quasi static process, all changes take place infinitely slowly. Isothermal process occur very slowly so it is quasi-static and hence it is reversible.
