Solution

The correct option is B False

Air:

  • Air is essential for living beings.
  • Air contains oxygen with some other elements as well.
  • Without food, human beings can stay alive for days, one can stay alive for several days without water, but without air, one cannot survive for more than a few minutes.
  • Breathing is a part of respiration in which, a living thing takes in oxygen from the air and gives out carbon dioxide.

Thus, the given statement i.e. is false."We can survive for some time without air but we cannot survive even for a few minutes without food."

Correct statement- “We can survive for some time without food but we cannot survive even for a few minutes without air.”
