(C) For a reaction to be spontaneous,the Gibbs free energy change $\Delta G$ must be negative $(\Delta G Given $\Delta G = \Delta H - T \cdot \Delta S$.At equilibrium,$\Delta G = 0$,so $T = \frac{\Delta H}{\Delta S}$.Converting $\Delta H$ to Joules: $\Delta H = 178.3 	imes 1000 \, J = 178300 \, J$.$T = \frac{178300 \, J}{160 \, J \cdot K^{-1}} = 1114.375 \, K \approx 1114 \, K$.Since the reaction is endothermic $(\Delta H > 0)$ and entropy increases $(\Delta S > 0)$,the reaction becomes spontaneous at temperatures higher than the equilibrium temperature.Therefore,the reaction becomes spontaneous at $T > 1114 \, K$.

Condition	Details
$A$. $\Delta H: +, \Delta S: -$	$T$: any $T$, Spontaneity: Non-spontaneous
$B$. $\Delta H: +, \Delta S: +$	$T$: low $T$, Spontaneity: Non-spontaneous
$C$. $\Delta H: -, \Delta S: -$	$T$: low $T$, Spontaneity: Spontaneous
$D$. $\Delta H: -, \Delta S: +$	$T$: any $T$, Spontaneity: Spontaneous
