You need dG. If you don't have that, you can calculate it from dG = dH - TdS

Should I write both just to be sure or is delta G the only answer I need?

I don't know what your instructions are. One answer is all that you have given; i.e., T, dH and dS because you can calculate dG from those three.
If I had a choice I would choose dG.
