Answer:

C) Entropy

Step-by-step explanation:

Entropy is defined as the quantitative disorder or randomness in the system. This concept is coming out of the system of thermodynamics which deals with the transfer of heat in the system.

There are some key features of entropy which are discussed below:

  • To decrease the entropy there must be supply of heat from the outside of the system.
  • Entropy is defined as the measure of probability and the disturbance of molecules in the macroscopic system.

Therefore, entropy is the measure of the disorder of a system.
