SOLUTION

Option a is correct.

 

a. Enthalpy is favorable, entropy is favorable describes the process of melting ice at room temperature. As the ice is absorbing heat from the outside so the enthalpy is favorable and when the state is changing from the solid to liquid the entropy is also favorable.

b. Enthalpy is favorable, Entropy is favorable

c. Enthalpy is favorable, Entropy is favorable

d. Enthalpy is favorable, Entropy is favorable
