Solution

The correct option is A True
Yes, the given statement is True.
When the body is placed in a lift and the lift is going down with an acceleration a=g, the weight of the body, when measured on a weighing scale, would be zero because of free fall.

The weight of the body is also zero in outer space or at the centre of the earth where the gravitational force on the body will be zero. It will just float around.
