Solution

The correct option is B False
The arrow pointing downwards $(↓)$ along with a product represents a precipitate of a chemical reaction. For example:
${AgNO}_{3} (s) + NaCl(aq) \to AgCl (s) (↓) + {NaNO}_{3} (aq)$

The arrow pointing upwards $(↑)$ represents the gaseous product of a chemical reaction. For example:
${CaCO}_{3} (s) △ \to CaO(s) + {CO}_{2} (g) (↑)$

Hence, the given statement is false.
