The correct answer is A.False

Explanation,

Water only dilutes the poison.Water should only be given if the person cannot swallow anything.A person who has swallowed poison should be given milk or ice cream because it dilutes and helps to neutralize the poison.The person should not be encouraged to vomit if the poison was corrosive because when vomiting it come up burning internal organs of the body.The casualty after the first aid should be taken to hospital.
