bbb911 · Answer

number 2 lower entropy and higher entropy

Anonymous · Answer

In natural systems, changes tend to lead towards higher entropy and lower energy due to the laws of thermodynamics. Higher entropy indicates a more disordered state, while lower energy reflects stability. Thus, the correct answer to the question is option 3: higher entropy and lower energy.
