When you make ice cubes, the entropy of water

Question

When you make ice cubes, the entropy of water (A) does not change (B) increases (C) decreases (D) may either increase or decrease depending on the process used

The entropy function gives us a numerical measure of the irreversibility of a given process ie, it is a measure of disorder of a system. During formation of ice cubes orderedness increases ie, disorderness decreases, hence entropy decreases.
