A) Living organisms do not obey the second law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy of an organism increases with each energy transformation.
B) As a consequence of the processes required for growth, the decrease in entropy of the organism is associated with a corresponding increase in the entropy of the universe.
C) As a consequence of the processes required for growth, the decrease in entropy of the organism is associated with a corresponding decrease in the entropy of the universe.
