The temperature of the surroundings is high: The molecules are already quite energetic. The absorption of heat from an exothermic process in the system will have relatively little impact on molecular motion and the resulting increase in entropy of the surroundings will be small.(B) The temperature of the surroundings is low: The addition of the same amount of heat will cause a more drastic (劇烈) increase in molecular motion. a larger increase in entropy! i.e.
