The correct option for free expansion of an ideal gas under adiabatic condition is:Free expansion: $P_{ext} = 0 \Rightarrow w = -P_{ext}\Delta V = 0$ Adiabatic process: q = 0 $\Delta U = q + w = 0$; since the internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on temperature, $\Delta T = 0$. So q = 0, $\Delta T$ = 0 and w = 0.
