Its lyk this o, once a reactant changes from solid [NH4Cl] to gas,[NH4CL sublimes to gas when heated.] it is totally disordered. Thereby being a positive entropy change, hope u get it

A positive entropy change means an endothermic reaction(to absorb heat)...thermal dissolution of NH4Cl requires heat for its reaction...

For other options B, C & D, they all evolve heat while reacting

the molecules of ammonium chloride gain more kinetic energy during heatn which causes them to become disordered in their mean positions.

NH4Cl(s) -----> NH3(g) + HCl(g)
hence thermal dissociation of ammonium chloride lead to an increase in entropy with the change positive

not entropy. it's enthalpy
