This question asks about the change in Gibbs free energy (\(\Delta G\)) for a spontaneous process occurring at constant temperature and pressure. The concept of Gibbs free energy is crucial in chemical thermodynamics for determining the spontaneity of a process.
Correct Option: C) \(\Delta G < 0\)
For a spontaneous process occurring at constant temperature and pressure, the Gibbs free energy of the system decreases, meaning \(\Delta G\) is negative.

The question asks for the correct differentiation between RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read-Only Memory). Understanding the fundamental characteristics of these two types of computer memory is key to answering this question.
Correct Option: C) RAM loses its content when the computer is turned off, while ROM retains its data
This statement accurately describes the key difference between RAM and ROM regarding their volatility. RAM is volatile memory, so its data is lost upon power loss. ROM is non-volatile memory, so its data is retained even when the power is off.

The question asks to identify the organization responsible for developing specific 32-bit microprocessors, VIKRAM3201 and KALPANA3201, for space applications. This requires knowledge of major space agencies and their contributions to indigenous technology development, particularly in India.
A) Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) is the correct answer. ISRO, through its various centers, has been at the forefront of developing indigenous technologies for its space missions.
