Solution

The explanation for the correct option:

Option(B) 1118 K

the criteria for spontaneity i G value.

And we know,
G = H - TS
For spontaneous reaction G = -ve
G = H - TS
H< TS
Or T > HS > 179.10×103160.2 > 1118 K

Hence, Option(B) 1118 K is the temperature at which conversion of limestone to lime will be spontaneous
