Explanation of Solution

Introduction:

The word ‘Thermal’ refers to heat and ‘equilibrium’ means a state of balance.

If there is no net flow of thermal energy between two bodies which are in physical contact, they are said to be thermal equilibrium. The two bodies have same temperature. The energy continues to flow between the bodies but there is no net flow of energy. Thus, all the statements are correct except D.

Conclusion:

Thus, correct option is D.
