A glass full of hot milk is poured in the table. It begins to cool gradually. Which of the following is incorrect?

When an object cools down, heat is withdrawn from it. Does the entrophy of the object decrease in this process? If yes, is it a violation of the second law of thermodynamics stated in terms of increased in entrophy?

We feel that some objects are cold, and some are hot. Is this feeling related in some way to our body temperature ? Give reasons. Also explain this with reference to the zeroth law of thermodynamics.

Assertion: The loss of biologically useful energy as heat with every energy transfer in a food chain is a consequence of the second law of thermodynamics. Reason: Energy does not remain trapped permanetly in any organism. It is either passed on to higher trophic level or becomes available to detritivores and decomposers after the organism dies.
