Solution

The correct option is A True
The pure chlorine gas can be combined with hydrogen to produce hydrogen chloride in the presence of ultraviolet light. As this formation of HCl is exothermic in nature so it is not carried out in direct sunlight as the HCl formed is protonated in the direct sunlight which can cause explosion.
