Solution

The correct option is B False
Sublimation is the transition of a substance directly from the solid to the gas phase, without passing through the intermediate liquid phase. Mothballs and camphor vapourise without passing through the liquid state. So, it is an example of sublimation, not vapourisation

Hence, the given statement is false
