Answer: Option A is false.

Biological system is highly ordered, entropy changes is irrelevant.

Explanation:

Biological systems is the network of complex important biological individual like cells, organelles, ordans, macromolecules. Biological systems obey the second law of thermodynamics in that entropy changes with gain or loss of energy and for this to happen, it must increase the entropy of the universe. Living organisms taking in food to decrease their entropy yet the overall entropy is increased when entropy within the organism decreased.
