Solution
The correct option is B False
The needle of a compass deflects when a magnet is brought near it. i.e the needle of a compass deflects in the region of influence of a magnet (its magnetic field).
A current carrying conductor generates a magnetic field around it. So, the needle of the compass deflects when it is brought near the current carrying conductor.
