Solution

The correct option is A
True

According to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction, whenever there is a change in the magnetic field linked with a coil, electricity is induced in the coil.
So, when a magnet is moving in the vicinity of a coil, the magnetic field around the coil varies continuously and induces a current in the coil. Hence the given statement is true.
