Best answer
Right choice is (d) Quasi-state or quasi-equilibrium process

The explanation is: Quasi-static Process, in thermodynamics, is a process that happens infinitely slowly. However, it is very important to note that no real process is Quasistatic. A Quasistatic process ensures that the system will go through a sequence of states that are infinitesimally close to equilibrium.
