Second law of thermodynamics is concerned with the

A Amount of energy transferred
B Direction of energy transfer
C Irreversible processes only
D Non-cyclic processes only

Correct Answer: Direction of energy transfer

As first law of thermodynamics failed to tell about the direction of energy transfer and spontaneity of a process the second law of thermodynamics is introduced it tells about the direction of energy transfer and tells about spontaneity of a process etc.
