Solution

The correct option is B False
Given statement is false.
The telephone wires sag in summer due to expansion and break in winter due to contraction.
Hence, telephone wires are kept loose between two poles in summer so that they may not break when they contract in winter. Conversely, in winter they are kept tight so that they may not sag too much in summer due to expansion.
