Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
According to the second law of thermodynamics, the tendency in nature is toward
A
Ever-greater disorder in the universe
B
Ever-lesser disorder in the universe
C
No change in disorder in the universe
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -All things trend toward disorder. More specifically, the second law of thermodynamics states that “as one goes forward in time, the net entropy (degree of disorder) of any isolated or closed system will always increase (or at least stay the same).”

Detailed explanation-2: -The Second Law of Thermodynamics states that the state of entropy of the entire universe, as an isolated system, will always increase over time. The second law also states that the changes in the entropy in the universe can never be negative.

Detailed explanation-3: -"It implies that the universe will end in a ‘heat death’ in which everything is at the same temperature. This is the ultimate level of disorder; if everything is at the same temperature, no work can be done, and all the energy will end up as the random motion of atoms and molecules."

Detailed explanation-4: -Second law of thermodynamics The total amount of entropy in a closed system can never decrease. This is often expressed as the universe tending towards disorder.

Detailed explanation-5: -The second law of thermodynamics is a physical law based on universal experience concerning heat and energy interconversions. One simple statement of the law is that heat always moves from hotter objects to colder objects (or “downhill"), unless energy in some form is supplied to reverse the direction of heat flow.
