Solution

The correct option is A True
A snowshoe is a footwear for walking over the snow.

In the frozen regions of Canada, the freshly fallen snow is so soft, that it becomes difficult for a person to walk over it. Snowshoes work by distributing the weight of the person over a larger area so that the person's foot does not sink completely into the snow. Also, it increases the friction between the two surfaces. Hence, the Eskimos wear large snowshoes which help them to walk on freshly fallen snow.

Hence, the statement is true.
