For the spontaneity of a reaction,which statement is always true?

For a reaction at $25\,^oC$,the enthalpy change $(\Delta H)$ and entropy change $(\Delta S)$ are $-11.7 \times 10^3\, J \, mol^{-1}$ and $-105 \, J \, mol^{-1} K^{-1}$ respectively. The reaction is:

If $\Delta_r H^{\ominus}$ and $\Delta_r S^{\ominus}$ are standard enthalpy change and standard entropy change respectively for a reaction,the incorrect option is

The values of $\Delta H$ and $\Delta S$ of a certain reaction are $-400 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1}$ and $-20 \text{ kJ mol}^{-1} \text{ K}^{-1}$ respectively. The temperature below which the reaction is spontaneous, is
