Correct Answer - A
As per the equation, `Delta=DeltaH-TDeltaS`, for `DeltaG` to be negative `TDeltaS` should be greater than `DeltaH` i.e., `TDeltaS gt DeltaH`
or `T gt (DeltaH)/(DeltaS)=(1000)/(25)=400K` or `127^(@)C`
`therefore`The minimum temperature above which the reaction is spotaneous is `127^(@)C`
