Solution

The correct option is A True
When electron and proton come close while bonding, and the spin of the two electron is opposite (this is required for binding), each electron will spread out to cover the other atom, overlapping with the other electron (this is allowed because they have opposite spin, and so do not feel Pauli exclusion), and this reduces the kinetic energy of the electron.
