Which of the following is a false statement?
A) The total entropy change in one cycle of a Carnot engine is zero.
B) Entropy is a quantitative measure of disorder.
C) The entropy of an isolated system must be conserved (it remains constant).
D) Entropy can be measured in units of $\mathrm { J } / \mathrm { K }$.

The correct statement is that the entropy of an isolated system never decreases; it either remains constant or increases, according to the second law of thermodynamics. This means that option C, which claims the entropy must be conserved (remain constant), is false. In reality, the entropy of an isolated system tends to increase over time, leading to a higher state of disorder.
