Answer:

A. True

Step-by-step explanation:

When an electromagnetic field wave strikes a conductor, say a wire, it induces an alternating current that is proportional to the wave in the conductor. This is a reversal of generating electromagnetic wave from accelerating a charged particle. This phenomenon is used in radio antena for receiving radio wave signals and also use in medicine for body scanning.
