Answer:

The net entropy change of the entire system is increasing during a real isothermal expansion.

Explanation:

The net entropy of a system is always zero for reversible process, and it is positive for irreversible  process. It is also important to notice that the net entropy is the change of total entropy, that means.

\Delta S_{Total} = \Delta S_{System} +\Delta S_{surroundings}

In a reversible isothermal process the total entropy change is 0, where the increase of entropy of the system has the same magnitude as the decrease of the entropy of the surroundings.

But in a real isothermal process the magnitude of the entropy lost by the surroundings is less than the magnitude of entropy gained by the system, thus we have irreversible process so the net entropy is always positive.

In case of a gas for example where we have isothermal expansion, the work done is by the gas, causing a heat loss by the surroundings. It is that temperature difference that will make the entropy lost by the surroundings less than the magnitude of entropy gained by the gas.

Brut [27]
I think the best answer from the choices listed above is option B. The best graduated cylinder for this case is the glass cylinder. A metal cylinder is not possible because you cannot measure really since metals are not transparent. A plastic cylinder cannot also be used since the substance should be heated for the experiment.
