Solution

D. The system has become more ordered.

A negative change in entropy indicates that the system has become more ordered. Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. Therefore, when entropy decreases (i.e., there is a negative change), it means the system has become less disordered, or more ordered.
