I believe that the answer is B:  H2O(s) because is the makeup of water also known as one hydrogen and two oxygen. So water as more entropy and the s stands for sol fore i think wich means it contains the most entropy.

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Entropy is defined as the degree of disorder or randomness. This means that when particles of a matter move rapidly and continuously from one place to another then this shows entropy of the matter is high.

For example, particles of a gas are weakly held and hence, they rapidly collide and show high entropy.

Whereas in solids, particles are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Thus, they are not moving and hence in solids entropy is the lowest.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, \(H_{2}O(s)\) has the lowest entropy.
