During a Spontaneous Chemical Reaction, It Is Found That $\Delta$ S_sys < 0

Multiple Choice

During a spontaneous chemical reaction, it is found that $\Delta$ S_sys < 0. This means ________

A) ( $\Delta$ _surr < 0 and its magnitude is < $\Delta$ S_sys.)
B) ( $\Delta$ S_surr < 0 and its magnitude is > $\Delta$ S_sys.)
C) ( $\Delta$ S_surr > 0 and its magnitude is < $\Delta$ S_sys.)
D) ( $\Delta$ S_surr > 0 and its magnitude is > $\Delta$ S_sys.)
E) an error has been made, because S_sys > 0 by necessity for a spontaneous process.
