The volume of an ideal gas increases 8 times and temperature becomes (1/4)th (1 / 4)^{\text {th }}(1/4)th  of initial temperature during a reversible change. If there is no exchange of heat in this process (ΔQ=0)(\Delta \mathrm{Q}=0)(ΔQ=0) then identify the gas from the following options (Assuming the gases given in the options are ideal gases):
