Step 1. Section 7.2.3 defines an adiabatic process as one where no heat crosses the boundary at all: by definition.
Step 2. Rule out the others: only holds for a cyclic process (Section 7.4.1, Case 1), not generally for adiabatic; would mean no work is done, which isn't implied by adiabatic alone; would mean no volume change (isochoric), a different, unrelated condition.
✓Final answer
(b) q = 0
