Solution

The correct option is A True
  • Helium(He) is an inert gas having atomic number 2.
  • Helium is lighter than air and has less density than it.
  • Since it is less dense than air, we observe that the balloon starts rising upwards.
  • Also, Its inflammable nature prevents the action of air and explosion.
  • Therefore, Helium gas is used in filling weather balloons.

Hence, the given statement holds true.
