The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Concept: Thermodynamic systems are classified as:
Isolated system: No exchange of matter or energy
Closed system: Exchange of energy only, not matter
Open system: Exchange of both matter and energy

Step 1:
Check Statement I.
Isolated system: \[ \text{No exchange of matter or energy} \] So statement I is false.

Step 2:
Check Statement II.
Closed system: \[ \text{Energy exchange allowed, matter not allowed} \] So statement II is true.

Step 3:
Check Statement III.
Open system: \[ \text{Both matter and energy exchange occur} \] So statement III is false. Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{Only Statement II is correct}} \]
