Solution

The correct option is B False
The action-reaction pairs w.r.t. Newton's third law are experienced in the same frame of reference and they act on different bodies.
Whereas the centripetal and centrifugal forces act on the same frame but in different frames of reference.
Hence, the statement is false.
