Solution

The correct option is B False
  1. The first law states that energy is conserved. The second law describes that the energy and matter will flow.
  2. Now, let us consider heat flowing from a hot body to a cold body until the bodies reach thermal equilibrium.
  3. The second law would be violated if the process reversed itself spontaneously, although such a reversal would not violate the first law.

Hence, the statement is false.
