Solution

The correct option is A True
Hydrogen bonds are relatively weak but play a very significant role in the 3D structure of proteins and nucleic acid as it is responsible for the coiling in proteins and the double helix structure of DNA for instance. Thus, playing a very important role in 3D structural conformations.
So, the given statement is true.
