Solution

The correct option is C II and III
We know that
ΔS0reaction=ΣΔS0ProductΣΔS0Reactant
When we compare standard molar entropies for substance, we will find that standard molar entropy of Gas is grater than Liquids and Liquid's standard molar entropy is grater than Solids.
Using these information it is clear that reaction 2 and 3 has positive entropy change.
So, answer is C.
