    Answer : Option D

    Explanation :

    Since for an spontaneous process s>dU+PdV
    For, constant temperature and constant pressure process the above equation can be written as
    d(TS−U)>PdV⇒d(−A)>PdV⇒(dG)T,P<0.
    For spontaneous process (irreversible). And (dG)T,P=0   for, a reversible process.
