Solution

The correct option is B False
In case of many forces acting on the body, it can be in equilibrium,which implies zero external force. For example in case of ladder supported by a wall there are frictional and gravitational forces working at wall and floor, which balances each other so that ladder does not move. Hence the given statement is false.
