ANSWER:

False​

Explanation:

A body can have a constant velocity and continue to accelerate. Acceleration can be due to a change in speed or due to the direction of motion or both. For example, in uniform circular motion the body moves with a constant velocity but we still say that it is accelerating due to the change of direction (centripetal acceleration).

Therefore the statement is false
