Solution

The correct option is A True
The game of tug-of-war is won only when there is an unbalanced force, i.e one team exerts a force that is greater than the one exerted by the opposing team. If the game is tied, it is because no force prevails; the forces exerted by each team are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction, and hence balance each other out.
