    C) Cooling a liquid

    Explanation:

    The entropy of an object measures the amount of energy that is not available to do work. Entropy decreases as temperature decreases. Entropy depends upon movement and collision of the molecules. Cooling liquid results in a decrease in entropy because, with a decrease in temperature, randomness between molecules also decreases. As a result, entropy decreases.

    Option C) is correct.
