Options
A A process that occurs slowly over time
B A process that occurs without external influence
Correct Answer
C A process that requires continuous energy input
D A process that is fast and exothermic
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Hint

Focus on the 'driving force' behind the process. Does it need help to happen?
