Solution

The correct option is A True
Lime water is a solution of calcium hydroxide. When you add carbon dioxide it forms calcium carbonate
$C a (O H)_{2}$ + $C O_{2}$ $\to$ $C a C O_{3}$ + $H_{2} 0$
$C a C O_{3}$ is insoluble, so it precipitates out as a white precipitate and the liquid turns white.
Hence, the correct answer is 'True'
