(a) An exothermic reaction is spontaneous.

(b) When $\Delta \text{G}°$ is positive, the reaction cannot occur under any conditions.

(c) $\Delta \text{S}°$ is positive for a reaction in which there is an increase in the number of moles.

(d) If $\Delta \text{H}°$ and $\Delta \text{S}°$ are both negative, $\Delta \text{G}°$ will he negative.
