Solution

The correct option is A True
Point symmetry occurs when there exists a position or a central point on an object such that central point splits the object or shape into two parts, every part on each has a matching part on the other that is the same distance from the central point and both parts face different directions. The alphabets 'X', 'V' and 'M' exhibit point symmetry and are depicted as follows.
