One mole of helium is adiabatically expanded from its initial state $({P_i}, {V_i}, {T_i})$ to its final state $({P_f}, {V_f}, {T_f})$. The decrease in the internal energy associated with this expansion is equal to

  • A
    ${C_V}({T_i} - {T_f})$
  • B
    ${C_P}({T_i} - {T_f})$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2}({C_P} + {C_V})({T_i} - {T_f})$
  • D
    $({C_P} - {C_V})({T_i} - {T_f})$
