in thermodynamics a process is called reversible when

In thermodynamics, a process is called reversible when

A. surroundings and system change into each other.

B. there is no boundary between system and surroundings.

C. the surroundings are always in equilibrium with the system.

D. the system changes into the surroundings spontaneously.

Answer : the surroundings are always in equilibrium with the system.

Solution :
In a reversible process, the driving and the opposite forces are nearly equal, hence the system and the surroundings always remain in equilibrium with each other.
