Answer

Option-b Negative.

Work Step by Step

For an ideal gas undergoing an isothermal process, the change in entropy ( Ξ”S) can be calculated using the formula: $\Delta$𝑆=$𝑛𝑅$ $ln(𝑉f$/$𝑉𝑖)$ where: 𝑛 is the number of moles of gas, R is the gas constant, 𝑉f is the final volume, 𝑉i is the initial volume. so ​Entropy decreases as the volume decreases.
