Considering entropy $(S)$ as a thermodynamic parameter,the criterion for the spontaneity of any process is

  • A
    $\Delta S_{system} > 0$ only
  • B
    $\Delta S_{surroundings} > 0$ only
  • C
    $\Delta S_{system} + \Delta S_{surroundings} > 0$
  • D
    $\Delta S_{system} - \Delta S_{surroundings} > 0$
