The correct answer is :

c. Closed system

Explanation :

• A cylinder fitted with a movable piston is called a closed system cylinder. Such a cylinder can only exchange energy, not its surroundings.
• The gas is contained in a cylinder fitted with a piston forming a closed system.
• The boundary of this cylinder is sealed, on which a piston is mounted. This boundary is not insulated.
• Hot water stored in a closed beaker is an example of such a closed system.
• In such a system, heat is transferred from one medium to another, but no water gas inside it can escape from the system.
