Detailed Solution

Ammonium chloride dissolves in water having an endothermic reaction. This is because of entropy change. In this case, ΔS is positive.

NH4Cl(aq)NH4(aq)+Cl(aq)

The ions that were held together in the crystalline solid are free and move in all possible directions. Its entropy increases and then TΔS>ΔH.

Hence the correct answer is (D) NH4Cl.
