Solution

The correct option is B False
Combustion:
Burning of coal, petrol, and diesel (fossil fuels) produces Carbon dioxide $({CO}_{2})$ , Carbon monoxide $(CO)$ , oxides of Sulphur $({SO}_{2})$ , oxides of Nitrogen $({NO}_{2})$ , and unburnt hydrocarbons.
All oxides escape into the atmosphere.
Hence Burning of coal, petrol, and diesel (fossil fuels) does not produce atmospheric Oxygen.
Therefore the given statement is false.
