The false statement is A. -1 is a perfect square. Explanation: A perfect square is a number that can be expressed as the product of an integer and itself.


Explanation: -1 is a perfect square. However, this is not true because there is no integer that can be multiplied by itself to give -1. The square of any integer is always positive, so -1 cannot be a perfect square.
