Options
A System becomes more disordered
B System becomes more ordered
Correct Answer
C System gains energy
D System is at equilibrium
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Hint

A negative change means the final value is less than the initial value. What does that imply about disorder?
