Answer: Option A. -> True

A
Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers are being used extensively. When sprayed, it forms a layer on the fire thereby cutting off the supply of oxygen. Carbon dioxide also spreads very fast and helps in the cooling of the combustible substance. By reducing the heat and cutting off oxygen supply it extinguishes the fire.

Living organisms require oxygen for respiration.
They get oxygen from the atmosphere. The envelope of air around us is called atmosphere and 20% of it is oxygen.
:
In a mixture, the components can easily be separated and they also retain their properties.
The main constituents of air are nitrogen, oxygen, water vapour and carbon dioxide, and they all can easily be separated with their properties being unchanged or altered.
:
Atmosphere is the envelope of gases surrounding the Earth.
