Which of the following parameters does not characterise the thermodynamic state of matter?
  1. Temperature
  2. Pressure

  4. Volume

Pressure, volume and temperature are thermodynamic state variables which are independent on the way how a state was achieved. But work is not a state variable because it depends on the way it was achieved.
