Solution

The correct option is B False
Diffusion is more rapid in gas as compared to liquid, this is because gases have more kinetic energy and gas molecules are smaller compared to liquid molecules. When the temperature is raised, this results in the increase of kinetic energy of the molecules and rate of diffusion is also increased.
So, the correct answer is option B.
