  • B
    $\Delta \mathrm{H}$ and $\Delta \mathrm{S}$ both are $+$ ve
  • C
    $\Delta \mathrm{H}$ and $\Delta \mathrm{S}$ both are $-$ ve

The correct answer is:
$\Delta \mathrm{H}$ and $\Delta \mathrm{S}$ both are $+$ ve
$\Delta \mathrm{H}$ +ve at low temperature and $\Delta \mathrm{S}$ +ve at low temperature shows that reaction is non spontaneous
At high temperature (boiling point) becomes feasible
