Question
Which is most stable conformer of ethan $-1,2-$ diol
✓
Answer
c
As we know that the most stable conformer is anti-staggered. But in the case of intramolecular hydrogen bonding, gauche form is highly stable than the anti-staggered form as shown below:

Assertion : For an isothermal reversible process $Q = -W$ i.e. work done by the system equals the heat absorbed by the system.
Reason : Enthalpy change $(\Delta H)$ is zero for isothermal process.
