Nonspontanous reactions that occur as a result of heating are:
A. Endothermic and more random
B. Endothermic and less random
C. Exothermic and more random
D. Exothermic and less random


Answer key says D is correct but i don't get why it's D and not B

Why do you think it's B? Tell us your reasoning.

Why do you think it's B? Tell us your reasoning.
It turns out that the question is translated incorrectly the question should have been " which of the following becomes nonspontanous when heated"
The reason i thought it should have been B was because B is non spontaneous but the heating works in favor of endothermic, while For D it's nonspontanous at higher temperature and it's exothermic which the heating part works against
Anyways it doesn't matter since the question is incorrectly translated
