Solution

The correct option is B
False

The statement is false. Both metals and non metals can undergo displacement reaction. In displacement reaction, more reactive element replaces the less reactive element from its compound.

Example: $C l_{2} (g) + 2 N a B r (a q) \to 2 N a C l (a q) + B r_{2} (a q)$ .

In this reaction chlorine displaces bromine from NaBr.
