Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Gibbs' free energy is defined as the energy which is used to do work. It is represented as [tex]\Delta G[/tex]

It is also defined as the enthalpy change of the system minus the product of temperature and entropy change.

Mathematically,

[tex]\Delta G=\Delta H-T\Delta S[/tex]

where,

[tex]\Delta G[/tex] = Gibbs' free energy

[tex]\Delta H[/tex] = Enthalpy change

[tex]\Delta S[/tex] = Entropy change

T = absolute temperature

When [tex]\Delta G[/tex] comes out to be negative, the reaction is spontaneous and if comes out to be positive, the reaction is non-spontaneous.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
