Solution

The correct option is A True
Combustion of a piece of paper results in the formation of ash, water vapour and carbon dioxide. In this process, the total mass before and after the reaction remains the same. The paper before the combustion changes its form to form ash, water vapour and carbon dioxide.
So, the given statement is true.
