Solid
B.
Liquid
C.
Gas
Answer
D.
All of the above

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Entropy is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. The amount of entropy is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.
Entropy is highest for Gas as because the gas particles move freely, therefore the degree of randomness is the highest.
