Solution

The correct option is A True
Temperature is a major factor that can affect the rate of decomposition. Decomposers are very active in soils having a temperature of more than 25C, with good moisture and aeration. Similar conditions prevail in the soil of tropical regions which marks the presence of a thick humus layer in these forests. However, under comparatively low temperatures, rate of decomposition is quite slow even if you have good moisture and aeration, indicating that temperature plays the determining role here.
