Solution

The correct option is B non spontaneous.
Spontaneous reactions have negative free energy change and non spontaneous reactions have positive free energy change.
ΔG=ΔHTΔS.
Substitute values in the above expression.

ΔG=11.7×103Jmol1298K×105Jmol1K1=19590Jmol1
Since, the gibbs free energy change is positive, the reaction is non spontaneous.
