The interior of a box is filled with helium gas. The interior of the box contains three equal-sized regions, "left", "center," and "right." The atoms of the gas can move freely between the three regions. Why are you most likely to observe a macrostate for which the helium atoms are equally distributed among the three regions? Note: An answer of "A." means that possible answers "B." and "C." are incorrect; an answer of "B." means that possible answers "A." and "C." are incorrect; an answer of "C." means that possible answers "A." and "B." are incorrect. A. this macrostate has the most microstates В. this macrostate has the lowest entropy C. this macrostate has the highest entropy OD. A. and B. O E. A. and C.
