Solution

The correct option is D II and III
I. S(g)S2(g)
The second electron affinity is positive and hence is endothermic.
II. Na+(g)+Cl(g)NaCl(s)+energy
Since the process released energy, it is exothermic in nature
III. N(g)More stableN+energy(g)Less stable
Since energy is released in this process, so it is exothermic in nature.
IV. Al2+(g)Al3+(g)
This is an ionisation of Al2+(g) to Al3+(g) and is endothermic in nature
