Solution

The correct option is A True
The degree of ionization refers to the proportion of neutral particles, such as those in a gas or aqueous solution that are ionized to charged particles. In simple words, it could be understood as a capacity of acid/base to ionize itself. A low degree of ionization is sometimes called partially ionized, and a very high degree of ionization as fully ionized.
