Answer : Option A
Explanation :
After throttling, the temperature of the gas may increase or decrease because here there are two opposing effects:
1. As the pressure energy is converted to intermolecular energy the temperature of the gas should increase.
2. By throttling since the pressure decreases or expansion will takes place by equation of state we can tell the temperature also decreases.
So, it all depends on what is initial state of the gas and nature of the gas.
