Consider the following processes: The temperature of two identical gases are increased from the same initial temperature to the same final temperature. Reversible processes are used. For gas A the process is carried out at constant volume while for gas B it is carried out at constant pressure. The change in entropy:

A. is the same for A and B B. is greater for A C. is greater for B D. is greater for A only if the initial temperature is low E. is greater for A only if the initial temperature is high
