Solution

The correct option is A True
During the formation of a bond when atoms approach each other the potential energy decreases because in that range attractive force between two oppositely charged ions predominates over the repulsive forces. and when they come very close to each other (less distance than bond length) electronic repulsion forces become predominant.
The given statement is true.
