The right option is; entropy

The measure of randomness or disorder in a system is known as entropy

Entropy is the property of the system and it is also often regarded to be the measure of molecular randomness or disorder in a closed but changing system. The higher the entropy of a system, the higher the disorder and the higher the unavailability of the system's energy to perform useful work.
