Options
- AExothermic and decreasing disorder
- BEndothermic and increasing disorder
- CExothermic and increasing disorder
- DEndothermic and decreasing disorder

C. Exothermic and increasing disorder
Step-by-step solution
If reaction is exothermic, therefore, is - ve and on increasing disorder, is + ve thus, at these condition, is negative according to following equation.
ve. Hence, for spontaneous reaction must be - ve.
