Answer: When the cars are allowed to park anywhere

Explanation: What is Entropy? This is a situation of disorderliness. An entropy can be high or low. An entropy is high when an area or a place is in chaos. while a low entropy is a state of orderliness.

The parking lot that contains 50 cars will have a higher entropy when the place in chaos or dis orderly that means when cars are parked anywhere in the park without a sense of orderliness while the entropy will be low if the cars are packed in an orderly manner.
