Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. Pressure is inversely proportional to area.
  2. So when we stand on two legs, the area becomes larger and the pressure decreases.
  3. When we stand on one leg, the area decreases, and the pressure increases.
  4. Thus, a boy standing on one leg exerts more force than a boy standing on two legs.

Hence, the statement is true.
