In the \((P\text-V)\) diagram shown, the gas does \(5~\text J\) of work in the isothermal process \(ab\) and \(4~\text J\) in the adiabatic process \(bc.\) What will be the change in internal energy of the gas in the straight path from \(c\) to \(a?\) 

             
1. \(9~\text J\)
2. \(1~\text J\)
3. \(4~\text J\)
4. \(5~\text J\)
