In the below mentioned example of melting ice cube we will look after how the melting of Ice cube satisfies both the laws of thermodynamics. For example if you have put the ice cube in a warm lemonade and then went for some other work then after a while what will happen is the ice cube has Court melted but the temperature of the lemonade has reduced. The straight forward reason is the equilibrium is maintained that is the total heat is remained the same within the system. The heat released by the lemonade is absorbed by the eyes and the ice cube used that heat for melting where as after releasing the heat the lemonade become cold.

The question is incomplete as the diagram and the options are not given. So I am giving a general idea about the 4 laws of thermodynamics, using which it might be easy to analyse the diagram.
The zeroth law of thermodynamics - When 2 thermodynamic systems are present in thermal equilibrium along with a third system, then they will be in thermal equilibrium with each other.
The First law of thermodynamics states the energy is conserved when it gets converted from one form to another. It is called as the law of conservation of energy.
The Second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system which is not in equilibrium will have a tendency to increase over time which approaches a maximum value at equilibrium.
The Third law of thermodynamics states that as the temperature approaches the absolute zero value, the entropy of the system will approach a constant minimum.
