Solution

The correct option is A True
Answer is A.

When the swimmer wants to dive deeper, he will have to hold his breadth. Water is heavy and as he swims deeper, the water pressure increases and presses on his body. The air in his lungs are compressible so as he swims deeper the volume of his lungs decreases.
Hence, the statement is true.
