We shall consider two properties:
1. Temperature difference
2. Thermal conductivity of the material
Use a cylindrical rod of a given material (say steel) which is insulated around its circumference.
One end of the rod is dipped in a large reservoir of water at 100 deg.C and the other end is dipped in water (with known volume) at 40 deg. C. The cold water if stored in a cylinder which is insulated on all sides. A thermometer reads the temperature of the cold water as a function of time.
This experiment will show that
(a) heat flows from a region of high temperature to a region of lower temperature.
(b) The thermal energy of a body increases when heat is added to it, and its temperature will rise.
(c) The thermal conductivity of water determines how quickly its temperature will rise. If mercury replaces water in the cold cylinder, its temperature will rise at a different rate because its thermal conductivity is different.

Answer:
The workdone is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The initial Volume is 
The final volume is 
The external pressure is
Generally the change in volume is

Substituting values we have


Generally workdone is mathematically represented as

W is negative because the working is done on the environment by the system which is indicated by volume increase
Substituting values


Now 
Therefore 

I'd have to say that the list of choices doesn't go far enough.
Advances in Astronomy have been occurring for at least the past two millennia (2000 years). Maybe longer.
