Detailed Solution

A spontaneous reaction is a reaction that favors the formation of products at the conditions under which the reaction is occurring.

ΔH<0 and ΔS>0

ΔG=ΔH-TΔS

For the reaction to be spontaneous, ΔG should be negative, this works if ΔH is negative and ΔS is positive.

Hence the correct answer is (B) ΔH=-ve,ΔS=-ve,ΔG=-ve.
