Both entropy production and amount of lost work increase as the irreversibility of the process increases

Explanation:

Hello,

In terms of entropy production, an irreversible process always produces entropy, that is why entropy is increased during an irreversible process since the system experiences more changes. In addition, the lost work increases as the irreversibility increases due to the fact that the system is modified until an even farther state.

By considering the available options, there should be a missing option stating that both entropy production and amount of lost work increase as the irreversibility of the process increases.

Best regards.
