Which of these statements are in accord with the three laws of thermodynamics?

-A-The entropy of the universe never decreases
-B-A nonspontaneous process can occur if it is coupled to a process which is sufficiently spontaneous
-C-The temperature of the universe stays the same

I know A is true but what about the other 2?

B is true. The temperature of the universe is cooling...energy is becoming diffuse.
