    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    Since only for a reversible process we have relation :
    TdS=δQ
    Since for an adiabatic process δQ=0 ⇒ for an reversible adiabatic process TdS=0.
    So, entropy remains constant. Whereas for an irreversible adiabatic process TdS⩾0.
    Hence entropy goes on increasing for an irreversible adiabatic process.
