Solution

The correct option is B False
Conduction, in general, is the process of transmission of energy from one particle of the medium to the other but here each particle of the medium stain at its own position
Conduction takes place in all three forms of matter that is solid liquid and gas.
The conductivity of solid is higher than that of liquid and the conductivity of gas is least.
Hence, the given statement is false.
