B Correct answer
Explanation

Entropy is the thermodynamic property that quantifies the degree of randomness or disorder in a system. Higher entropy means greater molecular randomness. Enthalpy measures total heat content, chemical potential indicates potential for substance change, and Gibbs free energy determines spontaneity - none directly measure randomness.
