Entropy as a Measure of Disorder: Consider a system composed of 12 particles (letter designations A through L) enclosed within a well-defined boundary. The system is totally isolated so that neither matter nor energy can enter or leave. What is the expected change in entropy if the particles rearrange themselves into a more ordered configuration?
A) The entropy decreases.
B) The entropy remains constant.
C) The entropy increases.
D) The entropy fluctuates.
