Molly Hodge · Answer 1

the answer is B.

Explanation:

The answer is B, because when the energy changes from one form to another, it becomes disorganized, since it has the ability to mix in any space that has room, affected by several factors such as gravity or temperature, while still having its properties. Another feature is that it is very unlikely that the energy will return to its former state, and for this reason a part of the transformed energy will no longer be useful. For this reason every time there is a reaction in which the energy is involved, it will take a direction in which the entropy of the entire universe is increased.
