Correct Answer: Option B
Explanation

For a reaction to be spontaneous, ∆G = - ve; ∆H = - ve; ∆S = + ve

 Where ∆G = ∆H - T∆S

Given data; ∆G = ?

∆H = - 72KJ/mol, 

T = (25+273)K = 298K

∆S = -106J/mol or - 0.106KJ/mol/K

: ∆G = -72 -(298 * -  0.106)

= - 72 + 31.588

∆G = - 40.412KJ/mol

One of the condition for spontaneity of a reaction is ∆G to be negative.

There is an explanation video available below.
