State whether the following statement is true or false:
Carbon, in its all allotropic forms, burns in oxygen to give nitrogen dioxide along with the release of heat and light.

(B) The statement is False.
Carbon, in its various allotropic forms (such as diamond, graphite, or charcoal), burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide $(CO_2)$, not nitrogen dioxide $(NO_2)$.
The chemical reaction is: $C(s) + O_2(g) \rightarrow CO_2(g) + \text{Heat} + \text{Light}$.
