2 moles of an ideal monatomic gas is carried from a state \(\left(\mathrm{P}_{0}, \mathrm{~V}_{0}\right)\) to a state \(\left(2 \mathrm{P}_{0}, 2 \mathrm{~V}_{0}\right)\) along a straight line path in a \(P-V\) diagram. The amount of heat absorbed by the gas in the process is given by
(A) \(3 \mathrm{P}_{0} \mathrm{~V}_{0}\)
(B) \(\frac{9}{2} \mathrm{P}_{0} \mathrm{~V}_{0}\)
(C) \(6 \mathrm{P}_{0} \mathrm{~V}_{0}\)
(D) \(\frac{3}{2} \mathrm{P}_{0} \mathrm{~V}_{0}\)
