C. It is impossible for a system working in a complete cycle to accomplish, as its sole effect, the transfer of heat from a body at a given temperature to a body at a lower temperature.
D. It is impossible for a heat engine to produce net work in a complete cycle if it exchanges heat only with bodies exhibiting a temperature differential.
