Solution

The correct option is A True
Yes it is true that water boils at temperature less than 100 at top of mountain.
It's because of the fact that pressure is directly proportional to boiling point. At higher altitudes, there is decrease in pressure So there is decrease in boiling point and water boils below 100.
