Solution:

Entropy is a measurement that quantifies how much information can be transmitted over the network.

Thermodynamics deals with the relation between that small part of the universe in which we are interested - the system - and the rest of the universe - the surroundings. Thermodynamic properties depend on the current state of the system but not on its previous history and are either extensive - their values depend on the amount of substance comprising the system, eg volume - or intensive - their values are independent of the amount of substance making up the system, eg temperature and pressure. Thus the Entropy is a thermodynamic property, like temperature, pressure and volume but, unlike them, it cannot easily be visualized.

This is the required answer.
