Answer:

C. No additional heat is required to make it occur

Step-by-step explanation:

A reaction is said to be spontaneous if it can occur on its own. Spontaneous reactions do not require additional energy or heat from other sources to occur.

A spontaneous reaction leads to an increase in the disorderliness of a system.

We can use the free energy change of a system which measures the energy of a system used to useful work to predict the spontaneity of a reaction.

If the Free energy change is negative the reaction is said to be spontaneous or feasible.
