Answer:

D.A high temperature will make it spontaneous.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Δ G = Δ H - TΔS

For spontaneous reaction

Δ G should be negative . If Δ G = 0

Δ H = TΔS

T = Δ H / Δ S

At temperature above this T , Δ G becomes negative if Δ S and ΔH are positive .

So at a high temperature will make it spontaneous.
