Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. The movement of electrons in a particular direction over an appreciable distance is called electric current.
  2. All metals have free electrons that conduct electricity.
  3. The electrons have the inherent property to repel each other
  4. When a source of electrons in the form of a cell or battery is connected to a metal, the electrons coming from the negative terminal of the cell or battery repel the free electrons.
  5. Due to the repulsion between electrons, they move in the direction of the incoming electrons over the surface of the metal and produce an electric current.

Hence, the given statement is true.
