It refers to the amount of disorderliness
A
Enthalpy
B
Entropy
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A measure of disorder; the higher the entropy the greater the disorder. In thermodynamics, a parameter representing the state of disorder of a system at the atomic, ionic, or molecular level; the greater the disorder the higher the entropy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Entropy (i.e S) is a measure of disorderness or randomness of a system.

Detailed explanation-3: -Entropy, the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work. Because work is obtained from ordered molecular motion, the amount of entropy is also a measure of the molecular disorder, or randomness, of a system.

Detailed explanation-4: -Informally, entropy is a measure of the amount of disorder in a physical, or a biological, system. The higher the entropy of a system, the less information we have about the system. Hence, information is a form of negative entropy.
