Consider a system of three particles which can occupy energy levels with energy $0, \in$ and $2 \in$, such that the total energy $\mathrm{E}=4 \in$. Cases $\mathrm{A}, \mathrm{B}$ and C correspond to spin $\frac{1}{2}$ fermions, spin 0 bosons, and classically distinguishable particles, respectively. The correct ordering of entropy is

(a)$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{A}}>\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{B}}>\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{C}}$

(b)$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{B}}>\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{A}}>\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{C}}$

(c)$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{B}}>\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{A}}$

(d)$\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{C}}>\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{A}}>\mathrm{S}_{\mathrm{B}}$
