Solution

The correct option is B False
The angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent to each other after the intersection of the two lines and the sum of angles of a linear pair is always equal to $180 °$ .
The sum of two acute angles always measures less than $180 °$ . So, it can never form a linear pair.
Hence the given statement is false.
