Answer: Second law of thermodynamics

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics states that the net entropy of an isolated system cannot decrease over a period of time.

The increase in entropy means irreversibly is associated with a natural process and entropy of the universe is always increasing.

Entropy is a sum of system and surrounding thus entropy associated with the irreversible process does not necessarily mean positive entropy(surrounding entropy might be decreasing).
