(A) The statement is $True$.
$A$ force is defined as a push or a pull acting on an object. While a force can cause an object to accelerate,change its speed,or change its direction,it does not always result in motion.
For example,if you push against a heavy wall,you are applying a force,but the wall does not move because the frictional force or the structural resistance balances your applied force. Therefore,force does not always produce motion in a body.
