Solution

The correct option is A True
Multiplying or dividing the same positive number to both sides of an inequality does not change the inequality. Multiplying or dividing the same negative number to both sides of an inequality reverses the inequality – this is also called the flip rule of inequalities.
So the given statement is true
Option A is the correct answer.
