    From the choices given, the correct answer is D. If a system is left to change spontaneously, the state with the lowest possible energy consistent with the state of maximum disorder. The statement "left to change spontaneously" signifies that there are no external forces or other factors that will control the system therefore the system goes to more disorder with least energy.
