Solution

The correct option is A

True


24-carat gold is quite pure and is very soft. As such, it cannot be used for making gold ornaments.

22-carat gold is an alloy of gold containing a small amounts of copper or silver. Therefore, it is hard and more ductile as compared to pure gold. So, the ornaments are generally made from 22-carat gold.
