Solution

The correct option is A
True

Electric current is a flow of charges. We know current flows from the positive terminal to the negative terminal of a cell. The direction of flow of current is opposite to the direction of flow of electrons. Hence, in a closed circuit, electrons flow from the negative terminal to the positive terminal of a cell.
