Entropy is related to the number of way of "rearranging energy" between the particles. The greater the energy you have, the greater the number of ways of rearranging this energy, hence the greater the entropy of the system.
Temperature is directly related to the energy (energy = mcT). Therefore, the greater the temperature, the greater the entropy of the system.

Entropy increases.

Increasing the temperature causes the increase in kinetic energy which would then mean an increase in motion. Increase in motion causes increase in entropy.

Temperature is average kinetic energy, or in other words the average amount of energy each particle is moving with. Entropy is the 'chaos' or 'disorder' of a system. So the more energy you have, the faster you can go about reeking havoc. As we know: Solid- particles move around fixed points in vibrations Liquid- particles move freely but strongly attracted to each other Gas/Vapor-particles move freely in random, constant motion Disorder (increasing): Solid-->Liquid---------------->Gas/Vap... Your Answer: B & C

heat is random kinetic energy, entropy is randomness, hence, more heat, more entropy
