Solution

The correct option is A True
The air around us forms the atmosphere of the earth. It extends from the ground to about 11 km into space. It gets denser due to the gravity as we approach the ground. It has the right amount of pressure and composition to sustain life. The atmosphere above the earth’s surface forms a blanket of gases protecting us from many harmful radiations that come from outer space.
