Solution Steps

Step 1: Understanding Entropy

Entropy is a measure of disorder or randomness in a system. When things are put in order, the system becomes more organized, which means the disorder or randomness decreases.

Step 2: Analyzing the Options

The question asks what happens to entropy when things are put in order. Since putting things in order decreases disorder, entropy decreases.

Final Answer

\(\boxed{\text{b. decreased}}\)
