Identify the reaction/process in which the entropy decreases

Identify the reaction/process in which the entropy decreases
  1. $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (l) $\longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (s)
  2. $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (l) $\longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}$ (g)
  3. $\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}(\mathrm{g}) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{H}(\mathrm{g})$
  4. Crystal $(100 \mathrm{~K}) \longrightarrow$ Crystal $(200 \mathrm{~K})$

Solution

Solid to liquid phase transition decreases the entropy
