Solution

The correct option is A True

Use of carbon dioxide -

  • Carbon dioxide (CO2)is neither combustible nor a supporter of combustion.
  • It is used in fire extinguishers to put out fires.
  • It is heavier than air, so it settles and forms a blanket over the fire and thus cuts off the supply of oxygen.

Therefore, the given statement is true.
