Solution

The correct option is B False
According to the formula of force (F), $F = m \times a$
where m is mass of the object and a is the acceleration.
So acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting upon the object, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased.
