A)entropy.
B)negentropy.
C)homeostasis
D)cybernetics.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Entropy is the measure of disorder or randomness within a system. Closed systems, without any external energy input, tend to increase the disorder and decrease the organization over time due to the second law of thermodynamics. Hence, the correct answer is A) entropy. Negentropy (B) refers to the reverse process, i.e., the order or organization of a system increasing over time, which is not observed in closed systems. Homeostasis (C) refers to the ability of a system to maintain a stable internal environment regardless of external influences, and cybernetics (D) refers to the study of communication and control processes in living organisms and machines. Both (C) and (D) are not related to the described phenomenon of closed systems becoming disorganized.
