Solution

The correct option is B non spontaneous.
Spontaneous reactions have negative free energy change and non spontaneous reactions have positive free energy change.
$Δ G = Δ H - T Δ S$ .
Substitute values in the above expression.

$Δ G = - 11.7 \times 10^{3} J m o l^{- 1} - 298 K \times - 105 J m o l^{- 1} K^{- 1} = 19590 J m o l^{- 1}$
Since, the gibbs free energy change is positive, the reaction is non spontaneous.
