Solution

The correct option is A True
Hydrogen has one electron in its outermost shell. In order to attain its nearest noble gas (helium) configuration, it shares one electron with another hydrogen atom forming an hydrogen molecule.
Hence, in a hydrogen molecule, two hydrogen atoms are held together by a single bond.
