Options
A First Law of Thermodynamics
B Second Law of Thermodynamics
C Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics
D Third Law of Thermodynamics
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The Third Law of Thermodynamics states that the entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero (0 Kelvin) is zero. This provides an absolute reference point for determining entropy values.

Hint

This law deals with entropy at the lowest possible temperature.
