Solution

The best choice for this statement is (E) Second law of thermodynamics. This law states that the total entropy, or disorder, of an isolated system can never decrease over time, and is constant if and only if all processes are reversible. Isolated systems spontaneously evolve towards thermodynamic equilibrium, the state with maximum entropy. Therefore, an energy transformation that results in increased disorder is in line with the Second law of thermodynamics.
