Answer»

The correct answer is (b) melting of IRON

To explain I would say: A physical or chemical process which occurs by its on in a particular direction under a particular set of conditions without any force is KNOWN as a spontaneous process and it cannot be reversed. Here melting of iron is only POSSIBLE when we SUPPLY a large amount of heat so it is not a spontaneous process.
