The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

- A: A liquid evaporating to vapor increases entropy because gas has higher randomness.
- C: Decomposition of $NaHCO_3$ increases entropy as solid converts to gases ($CO_2, H_2O$).
- D: Dissociation of $Cl_2$ into $2Cl$ increases entropy due to an increase in the number of particles.
- B: Lowering temperature decreases entropy as randomness decreases.
