Solution

The correct option is B False
This statement was stated by German mathematician Christian Goldbach but is still unproven. The conjecture has been shown to hold for all integers less than 4 × 10¹⁸, but remains unproven despite considerable effort. Hence this is called Goldbach's conjecture.
