Solution

The correct option is B

False


Salts are ionic compounds which, when dissolved in an aqueous solution like water, break up completely into ions. The ion with a positive charge is called a cation, and the one with a negative charge is called an anion.

So the statement given to us is false as the terms cation and anion need to be interchanged.
