Solutions
Enthalpy is not a conclusive measurement of whether a reaction will be more spontaneous and favorable. Entropy is.
Taking a look at both reactions, in reaction A two molecules are combining and giving one molecule and in reaction B only one molecule is giving one molecule so decrease in entropy in reaction B is less. So, ∆S will be less negative in here hence more favorable.
ΔG = ΔH-TΔS
Hence option (d) is correct.
