Solution

The correct option is A True
  1. If a raindrop falls vertically with constant velocity, there is no net force acting on it.
  2. When the net force is zero, the rate of change of momentum is also zero, implying that momentum does not change over time.
  3. A raindrop falling vertically at a steady speed has no net force.

Hence, the given statement is true.
