Explanation / Answer
The correct answer is option B that is Entropy is increasing because the disorder is decreased and that is why the entropy also decreases.
Enthalpy in the reaction will increase so,option A is wrong.
The reaction is endergonic ,so option c is also incorrect.
The reaction is not spontaneous and that is why it has positive free energy change, so option D is also incorrect.
