Answer:

Option C is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Entropy is defined as the randomness in a system. In nature, a system tends to have high entropy. The higher the entropy , the spontaneous the reactions would be. As a system loses energy, it becomes more ordered and less random. Hence, as the reaction proceeds in a system, the system has higher energy/entropy and less order.

Hence, option c is correct
