Solution

The correct option is A True
Chlorination:
A typical chemical technique for disinfecting water is chlorination.
By breaking the chemical connections in pathogens' molecules, such as bacteria and viruses, chlorine can destroy them.
Chlorine compounds, which may exchange atoms with other compounds like the enzymes in bacteria and other organisms, make up the disinfectants employed for this purpose.
Chlorine replaces one or more hydrogen atoms in the molecule when it comes into touch with enzymes.
As a result, the whole molecule deforms or disintegrates.
A cell or bacteria will perish if the enzymes are not functioning properly.
Hence, the given statement is true.
