Provide the correct answer from the options below. No long explanation is required

Consider two distributions A and B. Each has 1000 particles distributed among 5 equally spaced energy levels, 1 kBT apart.

Distribution A: 671 particles in level 0, 214 particles in level 1, 72 particles in level 2, 38 particles in level 3, 5 particles in level 4.

Distribution B: 432 particles in level 0, 263 particles in level 1, 82 particles in level 2, 93 particles in level 3, 130 particles in level 4.

What is the difference in entropy between A and B, i.e. (SA-SB)? Assume they have the same configurational multiplicity.

Which statement is correct?
