Solution

The correct option is A True
The fibres which are made chemically or manmade are called synthetic fibres.
When heated, synthetic fibres melt. They melt and attach to the body of the person wearing them if they catch fire.
That is why wearing synthetic fibre clothing while working in a kitchen or a fire laboratory is not recommended.
Hence, the given statement is true.
