Solution

The correct option is A True
An object may be moving in the direction opposite to the force acting on it. The speed of such an object reduces to zero and after that it's direction reverses. For example, if a car which is moving in forward direction is pushed in the opposite direction by a normal human being, the car will continue moving forward.
