Solution

The correct option is A True
Expression for acceleration due to gravity is given by g=GMR2
as we know radius of earth at poles is minimum, so acceleration due to gravity will be maximum at poles because g is inversely proportional to R2.
also net acceleration due to gravity is affected by centrifugal force due to rotation of earth.
so above statement is true.
