Entropy is defined as a measure of the disorder of a system.

The symbol used for entropy is S and the change of entropy is symbolized by ΔS.

Where ΔS is the final entropy less the initial entropy = S final - S initial

Then for increasing entropy S final > S intital => ΔS > 0

Then, the answer is ΔS > 0.
