Solution

The correct option is B False

Explanation

  1. Friction is not a conservative force
  2. Hence work done by force of friction is not zero over a closed loop.
  3. The work done during the motion of a body over a closed loop is zero only when body is moving under the action of a conservative force.

Hence, the statement is false.
