In thermodynamics, heat and work are: (a) Path functions (b) Point functions (c) Extensive thermodynamics state variables (d) Intensive thermodynamic state variables

Answer: (a). Heat and work depend on the path followed between two states, not only on the end states. So they are path functions, not state (point) functions. So the answer is (a).
