Answer: The correct option is

(A) It is a statement.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to check whether the following sentence is a statement or not :

"water boils at 220 degrees".

We know that

a sentence is said to be a statement if we can decide its truth value, i.e., true or false.

The given sentence is "water boils at 220 degrees".

We know that the boiling point of water is 100 degrees, so we can say that the given sentence is FALSE.

Hence, the given sentence is a statement.

Option (A) is CORRECT.
