A)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

State the number of microstates possible when 4 eggs are to be placed in 3 bowls.

Concept Introduction:

Macrostates:

The system as a whole is referred by the macrostate. It does not give the position and momentum of the particles that make up the system.

Microstates:

The microstate specifies the position and the moment of all the particles that make up the system. For a given macrostate, a number of microstates are possible.
