Solution

The correct option is A True
The statue of liberty is made up of 30 tons of copper. When it was gifted to the US by France in 1886, it was golden/brownish in colour, but over time it’s colour changed to bluish-green. The copper in the statue reacted with oxygen to give it the tinge it has now.
